Amalgama[demo]
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Year: 2000
An accident culminates in the center-west of Europe. Leaving the territory completely uninhabitable. Not only that, our atmosphere was also distorted, causing massive climate change. However... Who would have imagined that climate change would spread around the world? By the time mankind realized it, it was already too late.
Strong winds swept away homes.
Low temperatures force the villagers to stay indoors.
The snow buries everything in its path.
Communication and transportation routes are cut off.
Ville Angelique has fallen victim to the endless winter.
Join Vicke Carter and her peculiar companion, Gruel, surviving the challenges of the new millennium, traveling through the remains of what was once a quiet but decadent town.

The mystery aspect of this VN is top-notch with some great - bordering on horror - tense moments! I love how you immediately throw us in the middle of the story and character action with little explanation. This constantly keeps the player on the edge of wanting to know more about Vicke, the world, and what Gruel actually is. I like how you approach the winter theme with a harsh post-apocalyptic setting, as these two complement each other very well and enhance story beats like the direness for survival.
The expressive pixelart character portraits and music choice are nice as these give a vibe that reminds me of old JRPGs. It's surprisingly meaty in length as for some reason I was expecting a short story, but despite the cliffhanger, it is a full experience already. It took me a bit less of an hour of slow reading, not sure.
I had no idea you're a fellow Winter Jam participant too and it's cool to encounter fellow devs in a different jam.
