Description

Where the Snow Settles is a game about loss, growth, and the supernatural. As the world around her crumbles, Aurelia searches for a way home, unraveling mysteries and wonder along the way. This short narrative experience masterfully blends contrasting themes to create a compelling and atmospheric coming of age story. Gentle and undemanding game mechanics allow for escapism into a beautiful and desolate world filled with secrets.

History

The studio first started working on Where the Snow Settles in late 2016. The team have continued to work on the game in a part-time capacity since. This game would not be possible without the support from the local game maker community here in Hobart, Tasmania.
