Nice story game , that intro "one goes north" is a great hook !

That was a bit strange, but it was an amusing journey! The intro texts were quite long before you get to make the decisions (a common mistake I often make in narrative-heavy games), but I liked your writing style!

Yeah, I originally wanted the intro to be scrolling text, and then thought it should be click through, and skippable (It is if you play again after the ending).  But this was my first time doing a narrative style game and I'm pretty certain it's not going to be in my wheelhouse.  But it was worth trying!

It's always great to try out new genres or new styles of games, jams are ideal for that!

Another fine entry. Even though it's narrative, I love the way the snowfall changes as the story progresses. Very nice.

Developer

Yeah I don't normally do narrative style games so figured it'd be a nice change. :-)

A bit enigmatic, but I liked it!
