SnowMan
I came up to these mountains to get away form it all.
Then He showed up.
Until then, I hadn't known...
Just how cold I had been. And how much I craved warmth.
A short entry for the 7th RPG Maker Horror Gamejam: Polar Expedition.
A tale about a man on the mountains, not knowing how lonely he'd feel in the icy landscape.
❄️There is only one ending.❄️

I hate you so much right now egg. This was so good and so sad ;_;
Thanks so much for playing!! :3 sorry for rippin ya'lls hearts out, but if it's any consolation, I'm planning on a WHAT IF game with them in the future! Might not be for all ages, but it's something!
Aw yeah...HARDCORE NUDITY!!
😏🤫
It was like a fairytale, and I wish it had more than one ending. I quite liked Bora and Var's dynamic...
Good riddance about Var's homophobic dad, though... although I'm sorry his memory still tormented Var the way that it did.
(Also, if you do check out the video, please excuse my voice. I was/am getting over a cold and my voice is definitely a bit weak in the video ^^;)
Wow thank you so much!! Im sorry about the blackout bug, that seems new! Ill try to fix that sometime soon;;
Var is definitely still controlled by his father, even after all this time- I think he doesn't know what it's like to *not* be constantly thinking about the issues he caused him his whole life.
Though rushed near the end, I feel very strongly towards these guys myself, so I really appreciate that you enjoyed their dynamic, too!
Thank you again for the video, and I hope you feel better soon!!
No worries! I honestly thought the bug was kinda funny xD It wasn't game-breaking, so take your time.
Poor Var... I wish he could have found peace. He deserved a good, peaceful life.
Even if you don't add anything to this particular story, I'd love to see them again in another story (if you have plans for it)!
And it was my pleasure! Thank you for the well wishes ❤
I really liked the story! Just the color palette alone makes this super visually interesting. One little bug I'd like to report though- after Var has his conversation with his homophobic ghost father and the static and black and white effects fade, if you leave the house without taking the gun and then walk back in, the effects will come back and won't dissipate (I still haven't finished the game as I'm typing this, so I don't know when the effects will fade away, if at all. I just want to have this typed out so I won't forget)
Okay I finished. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :( I DON'T WANNA SPOIL BUT. MAN. AUGH. I WISH THERE WAS ANOTHER ENDING. also a secret ending where Var gets to kick his father in the nuts
hello! Yes I'm aware of the bug, I haven't been able to patch it just yet but thank you for the report! Also, thank you so much for playing! I've grown very attached to these characters, and I'd like to do more with them someday! Haha, I'm sorry for the heartbreak jwj
