How To Build A Snowman
A downloadable game for Windows
Build a snowman following the instructions your grandpa told you once, and watch how a Christmas miracle does it´s magic this winter! Surely nothing wrong could happen so close to holidays...
Join a short scary adventure with the Stevensons as you discover an ancient secret that has been running in the blood of your family for millenia in this game inspired by both the christmas story of Frosty, and Lovecraftian creatures.
Merry Christmas, and brace for his arrival.
Even though this game hasn´t been for a game jam, I still had to make it in quite a short timespan. This has been done in around 3 weeks (which is 1 week more than The Trees Holding Heaven).

Was NOT expecting to get sucked into the lore of a short indie game like think but wow! I definitely need either a prequel following the grandfather's story or a sequel following the kid and his fight with Ons'thasnou when he's older.
Also the snowman managed to really freak me out multiple times even though I knew it was coming, so nice job!
Also also the dialogue from Ons'thasnou had me feeling some type of way... 🥵 Am I the only one??
The ending part got a little confusing and glitchy but overall it was quite fun.
The Sinister Side of Snowmen: Time to Rethink Olaf & Frosty Forever! (1st Game & I absolutely loved it! Please make part 2!)
Great scary Christmas game!
I think I created the wrong snowman? Also love the music but it copyright me on youtube so i ended up chopping out some parts lol just a heads up.
I encountered 2 bugs that made me restart the game twice I got beef with you developer😭jk
Simple yet fun, quick game~!
The snowman are very spooky
/editYou know I love your Holiday Horror Game! I just showcased in 21 Nights of Christmas Horror | 16th Game
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
This was such a cool game! I was not expecting this type of story from the game! I had fun playing every minute of the game!
A really cool little game! I found it a bit goofy, maybe a touch cliche, but I enjoyed it regardless. I loved the minigame to actually build the snowman! The textures were simple but pleasant, good job!

Neat game. If you need proper snowman building mechanics, along with prop placements on them, I can share my code from my snowman building game.

EVIL OLAF AFTER MY CARROT [How to build a snowman]
One of the best Christmas horrors games I’ve ever played!! 🙏I had added this to a list forgetting it was a horror game- so I got quite the surprise and treat! This was a fun one for me to play as part of my Gamesmas series- can't wait to play more of your games!
What a twist perfect game to record for my Christmas spooktacular!
This game is so cool. The story is delivered very well. Though I did get a bug in the elevator (I think from not standing on it. It got weird with the "redacted" glitching trying to grab me, instead of waiting up top)
I don't know how you made such a compelling mythos around Snowmen but you did it! Was really good.
Cute ending, you should make a prequel to this where you play as the father/grandpa, would be cool.
Very creepy
I played this in my Christmas horror games video in December and I really like this game! The story was interesting and there were parts that really sent chills down my spine. The ending part made me freak out too haha.
It was the last game I played in this video!
