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!

非常非常伟大的作品...我要被这两个宝宝萌哭了（抹泪）
I REALLY WANNA CRY ABOUR THIS GAME AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I PLAYED FOR 24 HOURS AND I STARTED TO CRY
10/10
hello，but could someone teach me how to get the translation? I couldn't find it TT
IM CRYING ITS SO GOOD
no matter what i do, it seems i cant dodge Winnie when getting out of the car, even if i press the arrow on teh first possible moment, it still resaults in a fail
Had to try it for myself and I'm really astonished by the story! I love the details about their personality and the endings. I'm glad for Auggie and Winnie's relationship <33 Overall a good game! Applause for the team
One of the best games I've played this year!..
this game was so good ! i really liked augustine and winnie and also the overall aesthetic of the game,, i DO wish it was longer though, i would've liked liked seeing more of the main character's backstories and stuff. also it kept freezing but i'm not sure whether it was a problem with my pc or the game itself,,, other than that, good job !!
我真的哭死了呜呜呜呜都是好宝宝
通关了呜呜呜祝奥古斯丁和小温尼友谊长存天天开心！！
宝宝我能问问语言在哪里调吗QAQ我找不到
oh wow this was AMAZING!! after getting the "good" ending i felt bad that i listened to his delusions in the first try and got the other one, its always good to have a honest conversation and the one between them was so sweet and heartfelt. i loved this game, both of the endings were interesting, i was planning to be nice to winnie and try to get the friendship back from the very start but then after augustines monologue about how winnie takes every opportunity to be appreciated etc away from him i started having evil thoughts even though winnie looked like a good kid and really harmless and decided to push him off </3 i like how the "bad" ending isnt perceived as a tragedy to the character and you can see that even though its driving him to madness, arrogancy and selfishness he is still convinced it was the right choice. and the better ending was just so wholesome!! i dont wanna trivialize the whole plot and make it seem like every deep close friendship needs to be turned into romance but it wouldve been a nice twist if they had a little kiss moment (im too gay for actual horror (horror-ish) games i swear</3)
我赞同owo
your not the only one LMAO
(Im illegal)
That was AMAZING! What a cool story! I loved the characters, the developments, and man, the drawings! It was such a cool journey. I also liked how you can "accept" both endings. It will depend on how you view it. Really amazing job!
great game! however when i got to the chase scene it was basically impossible no matter how hard i try it will not let me win the monster is so much faster than it should be idk what to do,,, also it got really laggy so its much more difficult
i had this issue as well but it started to work a bit better when you sprint. as for the lag i recommend closing everything but the game that should work
I love your PFP! Rody is so cute!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful game!It's a pity that this game is short.My friend and I had a story exactly the same, which made me even more touched by this story, and after this game I decided to overcome my fear and write to her.Now we're reconciled.
this game was very fun!. the horror elements were great, the music really helped with that. the art is cute and I like the mechanics. the plot was interesting but the game has a problem with tell when they should show. I wish we could've figured out why it was suddenly winter on our own and seen winne and Augustine's friendship a bit more, maybe through some more flashbacks?
but overall I give the game a 7/10
love this game so much!! winnie is jus a little cutie :3
winnie is so me :33
tbh, i luv the game, but winnie is really silly 〜(￣▽￣〜)
This is my comfort game <3
P.s. I'm too laggy, i can't even complete the game so i saw the vid online
cried my eyes out.
10/10
real
this game changed me lowkey
YOU CHANGED MY LIFE
very pretty game and good quality for the little amount of time it was made in, but i wasn't a fan of the dialogue, especially in the good ending. not a fan of the whole plot being explained through the text. i wish it allowed for more exploration. if you're a fan of short and sweet games with a heavy dialogue focus you will likely enjoy this game, but it was not my cup of tea.
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
