Through the snow
A downloadable game for Windows
The goal of the game is to reach the top of the mountain and light the fire on the warning tower to warn the neighbors of danger and save the kingdom.
Keep the torch fire to keep you warm in the blizzard - hide from the changing wind behind the rocks, look for additional sources of fire and save your energy to have strength all the way. Your ancestors have marked the path to the top, it is hidden under the snow - use the heat of the torch to find it. Don't be afraid to explore, maybe you'll find other, shorter paths to your destination?
Achieve the best time and race against the wind!

I made this "making of" video :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoCtM4XlO6w&feature=youtu.be
The whole production took 3 days, during which they were made:
- main character with the rig and retargeting for ALS system
- 100 models - some were remodeled from a megascan or made from scratch
- UI, blueprints and shaders that allow you to melt snow
- taking cover from the wind mechanics
- interaction with objects
- others: sounds, dialog, save settings, score, death condition
