About the Story
The year is 1913. The biting winds of the northern tundra whip around you, carrying with them a blinding snowstorm that obscures the world in a veil of white. You are a seasoned fur trapper, well-versed in surviving the harsh wilderness, but tonight even your skills are being tested. Your sled has overturned, your supplies scattered, and the relentless storm leaves little hope of retracing your steps. As you trudge through the snow, a faint light flickers in the distance-a beacon of hope, or perhaps a trick of the storm? You press on, driven by the primal urge to survive, and stumble upon a small, weathered cabin. Its door creaks open as if inviting you in. Inside, you find more than shelter; the cabin holds secrets-both wondrous and foreboding. Strange markings on the walls, the scent of pine and cinnamon, and whispers carried on the wind suggest that this is no ordinary refuge. Somewhere in the heart of this storm lies a mystery waiting to be uncovered, a Christmas tale like no other. Will you uncover the truth behind this cabin's magic, or will the tundra claim you forever? The adventure begins now...
Ratings and Reviews
The games by this author have been heavily advertised across Reddit for a few weeks now, so I decided to check them out.
This game, when I downloaded it, had text that seemed to be somewhat repetitive. There were tons of extraneous details to it as well. It mentions things like a vital journal or an important clue, but if you type X Item or TAKE item like the HELP menu suggests, nothing happens. The only way I can find to interact with the world is to move with compass directions. But things mentioned in the text like a hut can't be entered, all you can do is move around.
There is a timer at the top as well. The combination of the timer, the downloadable exe, and the barebones mazes remind me a lot of the group DBT, who released 53 different similar BASIC adventures before. I don't think it's the same people (and I didn't have any problem with their work), I just wonder if there's some sort of template for BASIC adventures that includes a timer.
I'm going to put 2 stars for now, as the interactivity and polish are low due to not being able to interact with objects. It's possible I missed something really big and you can actually do more than just move around, so I'm happy to bump up the score if that's the case.
