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).

Very fun game to play! I enjoyed the game a lot and am definitely planning on NOT building a snowman! Nah I'm playing. Great job!

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.

The Sinister Side of Snowmen: Time to Rethink Olaf & Frosty Forever! (1st Game & I absolutely loved it! Please make part 2!)

Instructions not clear, ended up summoning Satan. 😅 but seriously, not bad 👌 I like how the game took a turn into horror. I didn't read the description of the game so I went in blind and was pleasantly surprised 👍

Cute ending, you should make a prequel to this where you play as the father/grandpa, would be cool.

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!

This game was truly a blast to play. Idk if it was just me, but I got some mad Bendy and the Ink Machine vibes from this game. I definitely think this game has mad potential. Great work!
(+1)

Thank you! But if you thought this has BATIM vibes, you should check out my other game After The Curtain Call! It is way more inspired in it's style. Only Act 1 is out, but Act 2 is coming early this year and will feature more detailed scenarios inspired on Bendy and the Dark Revival!

Comments below clip:

Anyone that's ever built a snowman should be able to relate to this game. Besides its stunning graphics and immersive storyline, the player is taken on a tour du force [as the French so eloquently put it] where the paradigm of of time shifts between the then and now. Where the past casts it shadows over the future and where you have to decide what will happen next. Will the future ever be the same? Will you look at snowmen ever the same...?

I, for one, will not and don't.

What a wonderful game. What a wonderful story. What wonderfully executed game and story.

5 stars, well deserved!

I didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags, so kudos to all involved, and thanks for making this game!
