Merry Christmas everyone! Maniac unboxes a present, the Limited Edition of Killer is Dead. The game was written by Suda51, known for directing some pretty unique titles including No More Heroes, Killer 7, and Lollipop Chainsaw.

Other similar Limited Editions will usually include exclusive DLC and no much more, this one goes well above and beyond its peers. Let’s take a look at the goodies.
