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.

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!

the best game i played :)
I don't know how to save game, can someone please explain it to me?
Got both endings and almost cried on the good one. i love every game Rachel makes!
BEAUTIFUL ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL I expected some sort of horror game like Dead Plate, but this was far better, I was pleasantly surprised
(SPOILERS! DONT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FULLY PLAYED THROUGH!!)
I didn't want to push Winnie and I'm so glad I didn't in my main play through. I was like "I hope I don't regret this" during the push option and I didn't regret it. Even when I went back to get the second ending I felt so bad because Auggie is just self sabotaging </3
ALSO HELP- the "I had nothing to do with this outcome right? lolol! #not my fault guys" attitude during the pushed ended has me rolling bro. He was so convinced it was perfectly fine. I can imagine him maybe ending up with PTSD if h realized his influence on Winnies death, but he seemed pretty proud of himself. Kind of narcissistic if you think about it..
Omg I cried T_T that was short but very good <3
married in red was the best visual novel I played, but after I finished cold front I would say this is the best one yet
pls do linux
Ugly crying
and feeling a bit attacked bcs i've felt things like augustine did, but relieved they overcame their problemsahhhh every time i play cold front i end up in tears... such a good story it'll always have a special place in my heart <3 I MISS THEMMMMM ALREADY AAAA
i didnt think i would cry playing this i love them 😭
YEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LOVE THEM
HOW DO U LOWER THE AUDIO DOWN😭
how do you save on mac 😭
nvm you just have to download the itch.io app
Dastish fantastish
for a lot of the game i was thinking that the winnie we were seeing isn't actually the real winnie. he was just acting too strange.
I think it's a really cool game and I'm really exited to play!
erm.. actually, its excited, not exited🤓☝️
The good ending conversation between the two really made me tear up, doing the bad end right after that physically pained me
I can't get past the stage. Is there a glitch or what? It seems like a good game, but it's a failure, and I can't get past the level. It seems very slow. Please reply.
Hola, este juego, Gold Front, es un buen juego para pasar el tiempo, pero me preguntaba si alguna vez harían que Gold Front esté disponible para dispositivos móviles Android para aquellos de nosotros que no tenemos los dispositivos para descargarlo.
Y también los otros juegos como Dead Plate, Elevator Hitch, Eloquet Coutenance, Rot un Parapise y Married un Red.
pondrían también estar en dispositivos móviles Android para aquellos que no tenemos los dispositivos que necesitamos para descargar los juegos
Hello,
My friends and I are doing a master's degree in Multimedia Translation in France. We are actually working on a game localization project and have to localize a video game in French. We are seeking for game developer and translate their game into French. If you are interested, let me know.

NECESITO EL IDIOMA ESPAÑOOOL 😭😭💔💔
* SPOILERS !!
I would really love to find out the real reason Augustine let Winnie fall down the stairs that Winter. Like... What was the real reason???
**SPOILERSSSS**
it was kind of explained during that same conversation. Augustine thought that the entire time winnie was trying to sabotage him and steal everything. He was jealous of him and his success, and thought that this was all whilst later planning to abandon him. Whilst he would never have pushed him down the stairs, he didn't want to help him either bc in his mind it was kind of 'karma?' for taking everything. But later he realised that was just him being selfish and winnie didnt deserve that. Hence in the end when he has that broken leg and hes a lot worse off than winnie after the accident he says he deserves it.

— I played this with my friend, and oh my gosh?? It was one of the most wholesome ga(ys)me I ever played, like honestly. I like how in the good ending Winnie actually talks about his feelings too, like not just Auggie. I love them sm!!! I hope that they end up meeting again (n then kiss :3)
— But besides all joke up there, it was so wholesome, the game is obviously recommended!! 10/10. I loved it a little bit too much, I feel like I SHOULD HAVE started to cry, but if you’re someone who’s maybe into bromance and/or wholesome friendships, I would recommend you this awesome game!!
helppppp,no me aparece el gamee
helpppppp what do i do if its like rlly slow
when i played it online instead of downloading it it was fine
Cold Front is an absolutely beautiful game, of course I expected no less from the creators who made Dead Plate and Elevator Hitch. The CG scenes are beautiful and horrifying, the music is so good, and my heart couldn't take it anymore with what happens in both the endings. Also the snowman easter egg is so cute ;)
Here's the full gameplay of Cold Front with All Endings! Hope you enjoy ^-^

OK? it was really nice, i mean, i thought it would be more violent bcs its horror. BUT even if it was something that more sensitive than i expected i was glad to saw this story(●'◡'●) (I secretly support the opinion about the kiss, smack)
they are both straight so stop forcing that
