A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Lost, alone and on the verge of frostbite, you travel through the ferocious French Alps in search of refuge. With a sudden blizzard on the horizon and a brush of death , the thought of being back in your old village feels like a dream that it is getting further and further away. That is until you wake up in a strange new place. A castle of some sorts, filled with warm fires and calming silence. The owner of this mysterious place allows you to stay while the freezing blizzards rages on

Finally, a friendly face after so many months of being alone

.

.

.

Yet you can't help but remind him of someone. Someone he knew a long time ago

And he won't let you leave any time soon


CONTENT WARNINGS: stalking, murder, animal abuse, non-consensual kissing, blood, death, sexual innuendos

I love this game so much but I swear if my family sees me playing this I'm dead as hell.........................(my cousin walks in while i'm playing 10 sec later) oh......

Some of the best games are the ones that you're family will have a heart attack if they see 😔✊

"what a beautiful name for a beautiful GIRL" ... well guess I'm a girl now

I'm sorry. I've been meaning to implement a pronoun system but I ran out of time for the game jam. Do you know of any resources where I can learn how to do that? :)

I'm pretty sure there are some you can find itch.io! I remember downloading this Pronoun Tool for Ren'Py by npckc (itch.io) but I never had the chance to fully test it out since I was too busy. I do hope it works for you! If you cant figure it out and you wish to make your game inclusive, then switching the terms to a more gender neutral one would probably be better! I hope all goes well for you <3

Honestly I'm not sure whether I'm done with this project just yet as I might update it in the future. I sent it in for a game jam so it's still sort of disorganised (and FAR from professional looking). But yeah it's basically finished story-wise

sounds like this is gonna be a great game!

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it☺️
