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.

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.

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!

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 😭😭💔💔

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 ^-^
this is soooo sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
yaoi❤️
XD those two were more gay then me w my gang

delusion

Make out patch when?
¿El Juego está en español?
Can't save on Mac :(
made me cry 10/10 love this game
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
i usually dont cry over games but this made me bawl my eyes out I LOVED IT dahkgdhgdas i have no words the story was perfect and i loved the good ending<3 i would recccomend this to everyone cuz it made me realize some stuff abt my life too, its a masterpiece even tho it was creadted only in a month!
the run is so hard D: BUT I love it
i need to know what game engine this game was made on plz anyone
I believe its RPG Maker with plug ins. The plug ins are listed in the games credits!
Very good. I liked the psychological downfall of the characters.
cried, recommend, thumbs up emoji
as much as i would love to play it myself... i can't get past the chase screen due to lag. tried like ten times. i guess i'll watch a playthrough instead sigh
same being a macbook player is tough 😔
THIS WAS SO GOOD, I love Auggie and Winnie so much RAHHHH, they deserve the world.
This game is so perfect, it has to be my favorite sig <3 the characters are so loveable, the plot is so interesting & deep, and the story was so flawlessly executed in the form of a game! Thanks to my friend for introducing (read as: forcing) me to (play) Married in Red, leading me to fall into the studio investigrave hole (i can't get out!!). All of your games are masterpieces, I'm excited for the other games to come :)
With that aside, I need Auggie and Winnie to kiss. I need them to reunite and get married and rebuild the lil "Augustine 1" snowman every winter.
I lauv this game so muchhhhhh it's SO GOOD that I cried frfr! Please make more!!!!!!!!!
this game made me want to sob violently in a good way
I wonder if there will be a Japanese translation… This game will definitely resonate with Japanese otaku (；_；)
edit: nvm got out of the chase part by pure luck and the power of being used to having lag, now i can finally go through the story! but please tell me how can i lower the effects of the snow? its what it gives me lag i think
i know im probably way too late to help you, but if anyone else is seeing this with the same problem, go to the game files -> www -> img -> weather, then edit the snow png by zooming it into a blank space and saving. its not perfect, and theres still lag when the text shakes, but i was able to make it through the chase :)
This game is freakin good, i'm curious if there's a bad ending one tho.
The bad ending is probably when Augustine pushes Winnie down the stairs because he replaces Winnie, doing the exact thing he he hated Winnie for.
