Wow, just beautiful!

Super cozy and sound + art style is beyond amazing

Very cozy game. I loved the art and the music. I kinda wish there was a bit more to the gameplay to spice it up.

Obviously, the only issue with this game is there isn’t more! If there were 20+ levels, I’d probably want an additional mechanic/enemy or pattern etc. I love the take on the theme and wanted to specifically call out the great cliff art. More please!

AHHH JUST AS THE STORY WAS ABOUT TO PICK UP!! I need to see more! The game was great too but that story really had me on the edge of my seat!! Would love to see more entries in the future!

I really loved the art and music choices for Snow. The game was intense at times without completely stressing me out. That ending though... 🤯Now I need to know what happened!!! Very compelling story. My only very small issue with the game is that the text goes by really fast. Great entry!

You really made me feel vulnerable and frail to the elements- I loved it! Sent chills down my spine. <3 <3 <3 <3

This was great ! Visually it reminded me a lot about Arco. The snow mechanism is really clever.

Was the drones movement pattern random in the last levels ? I didn't recognized something I could use and got through the last one by pure luck. Though waiting for an opening, chilling under the snow and listening to the music, is very pleasant.

Developer

Glad you liked it! Yeah, the drone movement is random and I wish we would have gotten to a better design for the later levels, but ran out of time.

Great atmosphere, love the art and music! :)

I loved the art of this game, it was also a clever take on the theme - having the snow erase your tracks. The sound was great and the game did a good job of creating tension with the watchers. I think my only criticism is I would have liked to progress the opening dialogue bits at my own pace, they moved a touch fast for me. Otherwise, great entry!

Absolutely fantastic entry.

Beautiful visuals, easy to understand controls, great illustration of the "hidden" state when you're near a tree. The difficulty from what I've seen so far has been quite well balanced. I also really enjoy the story and how simple choices can affect it. And the music... it's just lovely. 

This is one that I'll come back to; it deserves a lot more than just a few minutes of play.

I usually try to give constructive feedback on these entries but I have no notes for this entry. Congratulations to you three on your great work!

This is a very beautiful comment and I want you to know I deeply appreciate your words. Thank you so much for taking the time to play and write this.

A very peaceful game.
I like the artstyle and music.
Sadly i'm an impacient person and couldn't make it through the game, but it's still greate! :)

Developer

Yeah, I can understand the pace is not for everyone. Thanks for playing!

Developer

Thank you so much for taking the time. I understand absolutely what you say about impacient. I'm a little bit of one myself, so this game was challenging for me in many ways. I struggled very hard to not give the idea of proposing a dash to the programmer just to make it faster overall LMAO. Imagine that! But that would have been a different game and I get it's not for everyone! Thank you so much again :) <3

Made a YouTube playthrough just for you, so you can watch it sped up if you want ;) https://youtu.be/uR1ba4ljd-Q

Thank you so much. Will watch it immediately! (:

EDIT: Watched it. The story is extremely interessting! Now I wish I'd have had the patience to play it myself :')
For me, a straight 5 Star performance!

Beautiful game, and beautiful atmosphere, I love the concept, also the narration gives that dreamy touch. The mechanics are very interesting, also all very polished. Loved the game, and loved the ending (or maybe one of them), great job.

Developer

Thank you! I think Hatmix did a great job with the narrations. I love his writing!

Submitted(+1)

Really beautiful game, and the drone following the snowpath is amazing. An idea would have been to make the player faster when he walk back on his snowpath, to escape and as the snow is gone

Developer

Thanks for playing and commenting! The design is intentionally slow, but we probably should have restarted the player at the point they got caught and made a pause menu option to restart the level. It feels too punishing to get caught close to the fire and have to start from the beginning.

Submitted(+2)

Nono, I meant when he breaks the snow, going back on this path could have been faster. The same path the drones follows

Developer

Ah, I see. Thanks for the suggestion! I think it makes a lot of sense.

Submitted(+1)

The art and atmosphere is beautiful. I really like you use of the theme to be about erasing tracks in the snow. That is not something I ever would have thought of but it works well! Great entry!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! It's crazy you say that because when I came up with the snow idea I was sure it was going to be a very repeated idea among the games along with text based games.

Submitted(+1)

This is such a beautiful entry - I truly enjoyed wandering around in the snow and hiding next to trees and rocks - really well done and polished game

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words. Also, I left a comment on your game. You did an amazing job. Congratulations

Every time I play games like these, I end up so impressed. The art style, music, and environment are just so nice and polished. Wish I was as good at that, haha. But great game, honestly. I had a bit of trouble at first until I realized the fallen trees don't help with the drones. Good work!

Submitted(+1)

Very cozy. Not my type of game but I enjoyed the atmosphere. 

Developer

Absolutely, it's not for everyone, but thank you so much for playing anyways!!!

Hey, pretty interesting game! Well done with the accesabiliy, you did a good job with the control rebinds and such :)
