Cold Front
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Augustine and Winnie have always been together their whole childhood. Ever since elementary school up until now, when they have graduated high school. They were inseparable.
But now that Winnie got accepted to his university, he is soon leaving town. The two decide to spend their last day together before his move.
Not long after they hopped into Winnie's car, they suddenly find themselves trapped in a freezing blizzard.
... It's currently July.
Cold Front is a short 2.5D RPG Maker horror/narrative-driven game with visual novel/adventure elements following the story of two childhood friends, Augustine and Winnie, suddenly being trapped in a freezing blizzard even though it's the summer. The two have to work together to escape the chilling dangers they are suddenly forced into.

This was a game made for a Korean RPG Maker game jam/contest where you were challenged to make a full game in under a month.
This is the second game I have ever developed and in just 25 days at that so the mechanics, puzzles and storytelling might feel a little short/less-dynamic, but I am looking to improve in the future!
All tips and feedback are greatly appreciated,
Thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy the game!

what. an. OUTSTANDING. GAME THAT WAS. I sobbed hard throughout the end. I hold this game dearly at my heart. Keep up the good work!
EDITED: JUST SAW THE BAD ENDING. IM BAWLING MY EYES OUT SO HARD, I FEEL SO BAD FOR THE BOTH OF THEM, this had caused by a misunderstanding, yet Augustine living a lie till the end...
I absolutely LOVE this game!! It basically stole my heart. Probably the best game Ive ever seen. I love Winnie so so so much!! I also love the idea of the concept where theyre just besties and not lovers imo :> (plz dont come after me TvT)
Can someone please explain to me how you save a memory for the check points (On a MacBook) I can't figure it out and I keep dying
ok so for the morons like me who, when they initially got in the car, couldn't figure out what to do, or how to talk and break the silence, cuz i was dumb and didn't see the like moose symbol. it's right on the back of winnie's head. but it looked like shading so i completely overlooked it-- anyways i loved the game. like loved it. l o v e d. i t.
LaurenZside on youtube shipping the heck outta these two
lol, yea and the Dead plate characters
I ship every boy in the games made by this creator >:)
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE GAY PEPLR. LOVE THE LGBT
Not as interactive as i really hoped, but ok little story and cute characters, got the good ending first try since it was really easy piecing together the plot, still cute little pass time, can't ask too much for a free game, which in that regard, this is a pretty good one
very good!!!!!!!!!! 100/10
i'm crying TAT
I LOVE this game, the art is amazing, the characters are great. Winnie is my favorite, and both endings almost made me cry.
AMAZING GAME 10/10
i've been trying to complete the chase scene for more than 2 hours and it's impossible the elf just keeps catching up to me no matter which direction i take
i'm about to start crying from nerves bc i really want to see the rest of the game it looks so good
Hello! I don't know if you've figured it out yet but there are two things you might've not realized while playing.
1. You can press shift to run
2.There are obstacles, such as bushes and logs, which stops you from running
Hope this helped!
im having trouble saving, can anyone help?
both endings made me cry, what the hell
I LOVE THIS GAME >_<
HOLY SHIT IF EVEN KANGEL LIKES THIS GAME THEN IT MUST BE FUCKING AWESOME!! XD
Im crying so much right now- their smile made me cru more than i was already crying ejhdgsbfurehjdgsbvjehd<33🥹🥹🥹🩵🧡

omg fr
THESE TWO SHOULD KISS! (Love the game very much :D)
I love this game. This art is so cute!!!
man, that last sentence in the bad end... gave me CHILLS. loved this!
had issues with this as well, try holding shift + running down while the chase is still loading (took 10-15 attempts anyway, but...)
i loved it, i cried, it was the most beatiful game i`ve ever played I LOVED ITTTTTTTT
man, i hated winnie at first but the twist was awesone, I RLLY LOVED IT RAAAAAAAAA
I cried... literally. I love Winnie
STOPP THIS GAME WAS SO SAD 😭😭 really loved this game, especially the honest talk they had,, please play it if you're considering it, you won't regret it at ALL
im playing on mac and it doesnt let me save at all, really good game tho!!!
Can you plz make merch of this game. I will buy it all
is it js me who doesnt see the game file? i mean i downloaded dead plate just fine + other games, but i dont see the "game" file for this one. :/
no yeah, mine doesn't work either. i just submitted a report and i hope they fix it soon.
you need to right click on the file and extract it, once it's done press Game.exe, the extracting should take around an hour!
TY IT WORKEDDD!!
absolute 10/10
possible ending spoilers ahead?
-
still recovering, still crying my eyes out so hard
this has to be the best game I've ever played, got me all emotional and stuff, Winnie and Augustine r so adorable I just want to give them both such a big smooch
if Augustine speaking his honest thoughts didn't make me cry enough, Winnie's note on his cast def did
I love you Rachel thank you for this masterpiece
omg I love this game by far, but it happend to be extremely laggy, so I can't make it to the end of a chase scene. The saving function doesn't seem to work as well. Anyone who also had these problems, playing on a mac, how have you overcome them??
hii I'm on windows but had the same problem, took me about multiple times until I managed -
I managed with memorizing where I'm gonna have to click what and pressing either left or right when I went in a straight line so I can still avoid things I hope this'll work for u (if u haven't already finished it) :) <3
I also played all in one go so idk how to help with saving...
I have had this same problem on windows. I haven't passed the part yet, and its either the elk is too fast or just catches right up to you.
it's so cute :(
i love the game
100/10 should be played
i love winnie
augustine and winnie make the best duo <3
I CRIED A LOTT UHUHUUHARRAggghh
(i finally fixed the chase scene so here's my review of the game)
ITS ABSOULETLY BEAUTIFUL
everyone whos unsure if they want to play this game or not, trust me its worth every second. The game showed the importance of the communication, and how you shouldn't let your bad thoughts get to you. I really loved it, the conversations between the two had so much emotions, it felt really real, and made me tear up a lot.
although i'll imagine that they ended up moving together/close and living with cats/dogs, and have a happy relationship/friendship (depends on who ships them) together for the sake of my emotional heart and i cant stand knowing they don't end up being friends/lovers till death <3
Hey, how did you fixed it? I literally can't pass it even using shift :(
So first i waited a but for the monster to Spawn and started to run towards the right side, Like the most right I could go, and then when I reached the end, I moved to centre cause you can't leave the chase unless in the center, it sorta worked for me, sorry for late reply and sorry if it won't work for you! :( <3
(spoiler ig?)
I WAS NEVER THAT SCARED OF THE WASHING MACHINE...playing at night makes everything so scary..
the characters are such dorks i love them so much T_T but i had such a fun time!! the game made me unsettled and nervous a lot but it was also really emotional and heartwarming. i really like it!!
me and my friend played it together and were yelling at the screen "JUST KISS ALREADY" the entire time
SO REAL!!
so so true
33 hours :^)
I cried and my dog watched me play this
I reply it once a day now
