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!

Cold front is my favourite game ever!!!!!!!! I love it so much I cried.

I have a sneaking suspicion there was some gay tension
a game that warms the soul with cold!
btw btw if y'all are stuck in the chase scene like i was, pressing shift and THEN going from centre --> right really does a ton. good luck and happy yaoi.
10 out of 10 first time ive had a tear in my eye playing a game, and ive played mouthwashing so this is big, thank you for the experience i loved this
This game is really well-made. I like how it perfectly captures the complexity of a person's feelings and how little things can pile up until the build-up turns one's dynamic upside down. One of the endings is quite eerie to me solely because of the color of the last dialogue.
As for the technicalities, I really love the BGM, the visuals, and the overall balance used to create such a stunning atmosphere. Kudos to the team!
I cry in this game. I played the Spanish translation. Idk what to say. Great game
This game was amazing! I loved playing it, it took me forever to get a different ending. Keep up the amazing work!
Hello! I'm an Italian YouTuber. On my channel I play many videogames in English and translate them into my language while playing. If you are looking for an English-to-Italian translator for your game, please let me know!
Also, let me know if you would like me to play your game on my channel.
Hi Rachel,
I recently played Cold Front and I am absolutely in love with your art style and the oppressive, psychological horror atmosphere you've crafted.
I'm a French translator specializing in horror and narrative games, and I'm currently looking to expand my localization portfolio. I would love to translate Cold Front into French, completely for free, just for the credit.
Visual novels are great to adapt, and I’d love to help make your story accessible to the French-speaking community.
Let me know if you're interested or if you have a localization file ready!
Hii, you can still do your French translation if you want, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm currently working on one with someone else, and we'll be done soon!
i can't believe you made this masterpiece only under a month
how do i get in the car
turn towards it with your arrow button and press z
How do I translate it into Spanish?
LITERALLY CRYING!! I KNEW THIS GAME WAS GOING TO HURT! MY STARLINGS SUGGESTED THIS! THE ART WORK IS BEAUTIFUL. THE STORY IS BEAUTIFUL! THE MEANING IS BEAUTIFUL! WE LEARN COMMUNICATION IS KEY!
Is anyone having trouble with it saving when you exit out of the game? maybe its just me but regardless I loved it!
SPOILER WARNINGGGGGGG!!!!!!!
the heartfelt moment as well holy shit i cant bellive this is only the second game on your account i cant get over this it hit so hard with how auggie was feeling, his thoughts and how he misinterpeted winnie just wanting to be with him 24/7 as winnie trying to discard him
i love how at the start of the game auggie did the fist bump then winnie did the same thing later on as young adults i loved this game and would 10000000000000000% play over again and again and again and again, thank you for working so hard on this Rachel :D
i love the artstyle and how soft it looks in soft moments and it can look sharp in scary moments
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THIS MASTERPEICE!!!!!! <3
Interesante
Show post...
I love the atmosphere, it pulled me in right away
Although I have some issues with the last, like, 10 minutes of the story that frustrated me, I really enjoyed my time with this game! This is an indie game and one of the first games this dev had ever made, so taking that into consideration, it is very impressively put together.
I did a quick video of my thoughts on it, and though I am critical, I want to emphasize that the passion of my critique comes from how much I love the rest of what's here.
i actually sobbed SO FCKING BAD, i love them sm, definitely my fav SIG game
sm: selbstmord oglum ist alles okay?? ;<
ich glaube, "sm" bedeutet "so much", nicht selbstmord X)
oh okiii danke (=•ω＜=)
VOY A JUGAR ESTO POR PRIMERA VEZ, EN UNAS HORAS LES DIGO QUE PIENSOOO
en unas horas o unos meses?
SE ME OLVIXO QUE HABIA COMENTADO ESTO PERDON
Just for anyone who needs to know, there's quick time events apparently. Press Z Dudes, stay vigilant.
(Edit one)
I got stuck on the chase scene for TWO HOURS, because I forgot you could sprint. Way to go to my brain not letting me know that you can just DO THAT.
(Edit two)
Absolute Cinema. Love the arc, love the style, love how it even resembles the friendship between Augustine and Winnie.
PLAY THE DAMN GAME.
beautiful game!
I played it for a friend, Auggie and Winnie really remind me of our relationship and I'm really happy with how the story played out and ended :)
For such a short game, the writing really builds the characters meaningfully- the game is definitely something worth playing!
great visuals, sadly didnt have time to play the game but thanks for an opportunity to practice my logo skills :D Tried to fit the style although might be a bit off
HI!! CAN I ASK WHAT PROGRAMMING WEBSITE OR SMTH U USE TO MAKE RPG/VISUAL NOVEL GAMES LIKE THIS ON?? THANKS!
