The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a captivating winter landscape, where secrets are buried beneath layers of snow, waiting to be uncovered. ☺️
The game weaves a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the untold stories hidden within the icy expanse.

NOTE: I know it might not have been very clear, but the idea is that whenever the player has to choose a direction, the mouse cursor changes to a hand icon to indicate interactable choices. Thats why MJ says to Crow to ''show the way''.. I tried to match each option with a selectable/clickable area that fits the description. (Later I plan on updating everything, right now I don't have much time to work on it, but later updating will be more understandable visually too.)
INFO / CONTAINS:
- Murder/Implied murder
- Blood
- Kidnapping
- Around 10 endings! 👀 (Prototype ver. will be updated in the future)

HI!sorry to bother!I met a bug while choosing the 3 routes.The choices didn't appear (it only shows me the background with the road and trees)and i have to click everwhere to find them(sorry i can't give u a screenshot my laptop is having issues.
Thanks for reaching out! I know it might not have been very clear, but the idea is that whenever the player has to choose a direction, the mouse cursor changes to a hand icon to indicate interactable choices. Thats why MJ says to Crow to ''show the way''.. I tried to match each option with a selectable/clickable area that fits the description. (Later I plan on updating everything, but rn I don't have much time to work on but later update it will be more understandable visually too.)
For example, the first three main options are (if I remember correctly): the lake, the main road, or a side path. Later on, based on your earlier choice, two more roads become available — one with tire tracks (suggesting it's used by cars) and another side path.
Please let me know if it's still unclear, and I’ll be happy to explain further. Hope you will have fun and ım curious which endings everyone gets recommended to save to go different paths!
Got it now, thanks!(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
The fact I can't play this game and STILL know it's a great game- Keep up the good work, and ik it was like a year ago or smth- but REPLY PLEASE
I played it the last year and I find it again today randomly. I have a great memory of the game and the story and the "oh no they made him emo".
you just can't make 12 year old jokes(where i laughed) and make everything depressed afterwards
I'm fucking sad now 😭 but it's still a nice short game 🫶
