Home Alone has been reimagined as a modern-day shooter courtesy of a UI artist. Home Alone is a seminal piece of Christmas media. Not only does it perfectly capture the atmosphere of the holiday season, but it’s also incredibly unique and not like other Christmas movies. While many other Christmas movies are about love and cheer, Home Alone asks the question of: “What happens when you leave a psychotic child home alone and he’s forced to fend for himself against robbers?” It’s a question no one was asking, but one that results in pure chaos. The Christmas classic was once adapted into a pretty bad video game, but one video game developer wanted to know what a modern Home Alone game would look like.

I loved and hated the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Home Alone game when I was a kid, and I wanted to make something quick and fun for the holidays! so…What if Home Alone got the modern day video game treatment? Happy Holidays y’all! 💙 #HomeAlone pic.twitter.com/4J9FLyR38z
