AAA i'm so happy that you enjoyed my game !! thank you SO much for playing it and even dropping by to leave this comment- and ofc i'd LOVE to see your art or any kind of content you make i'd be honored!!
Rachel, this was fantastic! I really loved the way you had so many parallels through the story that made the story feel so cohesive and powerful. Both Auggie and Winnie were such compelling and relatable characters, and I feel like even in the short time we got to know them, I cared for them so much!
My gf and I played this together, and we were both just collectively gasping and giggling in glee with the atmosphere. Though I love the concept of "horror" I actually do pretty poorly with it. But your game gave me the perfect mix of "spooky and unsettling" atmosphere, combined with actual horrifying elements. The elk/bear creature was honestly terrifying, but SUCH a good symbol for their relationship.
The narrative was strong, the quick time events pushed the interactivity up a notch, and really gave me a sense of urgency and agency playing the story.
The art was beautiful, and helped the story keep momentum. You have a really great way of showcasing emotion through expressions and silhouettes. Well done!
From a technical standpoint, I'm honestly REALLY impressed! The first game I made was ALSO an RPGMaker game, but I've never seen a 2.5D game or quick time events like this! I'm totally going to look into some tutorials of how I could do something like this, so consider me inspired!
I'll definitely check out your other work as well. Best of luck in your game dev journey, and I'd love to connect! -Leah

once again thank you so much for checking cold front out and inspiring me to reach out more !!
Great game, but I can't get past the first chase sequence. Every time I load in the area the monster gets me before I can start running since it loads before I can run away. I love the story so far, it's a shame I can't progress because of this bug.
edit: added an image where the thing got me literally before the screen was loaded in. My gaming computer is new and actually really good, so I don't know why this be happening on a game that shouldn't take much processing power.
hi there! first of all thank you so much for checking out the game, i'm glad you're enjoying it so far and i'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble!
so after some investigation of what might be causing this issue, i think i figured out what's happening: the player is already transported to the chase map and is able to move around even when the screen is still faded to black.
here's the solution i can offer: the chase doesn't actually start until you take 3-4 steps to the front so to avoid having to run blindly you are allowed to wait/stand still on the spot without having to do anything until the screen is shown again! so don't press any movement keys and wait until the map is visible- and once the screen's back that's when you can start your chase!
hope this helped and once again thank you for dropping by and letting me know !!
Really fun, I loved both auggie and winnie. I think some of the quick time events were a little too fast but didn't impact the experience that much. The story was very good and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
that makes me so happy to hear !! you have no idea how much this means to me/encourages me- i'm super honored that you enjoyed something i made! thank you for letting me know how you felt with the QTE moments too, i'll make sure to keep that in mind when working on my future projects! thank you for checking the game out and even dropping by to leave this feedback, super appreciate you !!
