“A free companion game to Viscera Cleanup Detail. It's a bit annoying you have to get all of the achievements twice, but on the flip side you do get an extra 100% game out of it.”

“Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa's Rampage (2013) Santa goes mad and guns down his entire workshop and you need to clean it up. Much like the base game, you got a bucket and mop to clean all the blood off the walls and you…”

“I prefer Crime Scene Cleaner overall for this type of game, it's pretty much a 1:1 of VCD but somewhat more serious. Also great soundtrack. And story. The only other VCD I've played before this was the Shadow Warrior…”

“Ho ho holy mess. Santa snapped and somehow that means I have to spend an hour mopping up reindeer bits and picking up bullet casings. Not what I had planned for December but here we are. Even better with friends. Starts out productive, everyone doing their part, very wholesome.…”
— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“Standalone dlc. It is great for an xmas adventure, a fast one-night coop. But it is the same as the base. Pick up the trash and clean the blood, and enjoy some sandbox physics fun.”
