Thank you for the video and pointing out the issues in the game! most of them are fixed on the current update. So, feel free to try it again if you have time :)
PROS -adorable artstyle -nice musical score -nice pixel art characters -sweet story -clever restart mechanic -guro waifu & neko waifu
CONS -rather short -bad English (seriously, get a proof reader^^)
On the whole a nice little play. Looking forward to more games of yours. Don't let yourself be discouraged and remember to THYBLOODCONSUME THYBLOODCONSUME THYBLOODCONSUME
ETHERNALBLOODSPlatTERGENOCIDE!! HEARTFATALFlutteringWITHBUTTERFLIES! Thank you for a constructive comment! I'll try your suggestion next time. For me a non native speaker. Seeking for a helping hands or team on writing sounds very logical.
Gotta love it, even though i did play it as if its a adventure game trying to find secrets (either theres none or i suck at finding them) its very nice and i never really got bothered with jades english despite the funny warning.
Thank you for kind words for my English, Bogieybeem! This game is served as a prologue and vertical slice to my possibly-longer game in the future. So, there's not much hidden content yet. For secret hunters as yourself. could easily found everything the game has in 20-30 minutes. Glad you enjoy the game!
Before this project I never have much change to work with sounds. And now I know it's something really worth spending time working on to make it feels right or find someone who can to do it for you. On the next update (which is coming up really soon!) I also have additional sounds and editing done to it along side with several new content and dialogs. So, I hope you will revisit the game again sometime to experience new contents in it.
I quite liked the game, it has cute art and a nice story. I would love to see more of the world, like being able to go to Claire's apartment or go outside and see Noir or some added backstory would be cool. I def like the time loop, Nice job.
Thank you for kind words, CatDadGaming! I really happy that someone want to know and explore more on the world of Red snow. (And yes, If I ever expanding this game, Noir will have to come back!)
Omg, you really check the comments. I enjoyed your video so much! Thanks for making it and I like your 'Claire' imitation. It is so good that my ribs hurt.
For a visual Novel this is pretty good. Short sweet and to the point. The game said roast you about the dialogue on itch.io so here goes. Your English is bad lol. I usually do a pros and cons list to help devs you know like actual feedback. The only bad thing I would say about this game is not being able to change the mouse sensitivity but that doesn't really matter that much but you don't even use the mouse the whole time. All in All a pretty good experienece. Keep it up.
I really LOVE the art style! it is amazing, it make the story more enjoyable and fun!, the story itself is good and the True Ending is very noice.
Can't wait to play the next game you make with this style of art!(or any other type) Followed :D btw i can clip myself into the sink lol .and man.. i love neko girls hahaha
enjoyed , this has the potential to become a good long and thrilling timeloop-esque story where maybe we have to sacrifice claire in a similliar kind of ritual or slaughter the whole cursed apartment building like in sally face to end the loop , a nice cast of characters can be introduced and built for a dramatic or even tragic climax , also i can't get enough of the surreal style , that and some amateur voice acting and you've got yourself an indie hit (can't wait till matpat ruins this one too )
but to be completely honest this game's only hook (for me) was the style and the enviroment however the seed for a great game is there ,claire's character piqued my intrest and left me asking for more so would def love to this project grow with time
Thank you for very constructive and informative comment! I have to admit that the story was started far simpler then this and the idea of the time-loop came with the idea that I want player to experience every endings in the game without reloading save. And since it's become the core of both back story and its flow.
The environment was the first thing I've done in this project. And the few first days of the jam was me creating interaction on the set objects. And I improvise the first draft of my script / story around the environment. It's very fun but yet unconventional/maybe not a good way to make a VN. That might be the reason why the room has so much attention while the writing itself could use more than a few time editing and rewrite ^ ^' (which I'm still keep improving)
I do have fun making this project and really want to do more loop timeline story like this with recurring characters from this one.
And hopefully after the final patch to the game I can arrange time for that to happen. Wish me luck!
I really liked the game, I was very immersed in Claire's conversation with the protagonist. Anyway, I wish there was more,if had some parts where you walk outside to visit Claire apartment, or making tasks, I think it would be even more fun. Good job, Jade
Really immersive game and loved the various different endings that came with them. This didn't even feel purely like a horror game because of how much charm there was with the atmosphere. Was still a lovely visual novel, and is a good entry for those who are scaredy but trying to get into the horror gaming genre. However, I do take slight issue with the option selection. I feel clicking with your mouse on the option should also work, but other than that and the grammar issues, I have no complaints!
Thank you for playing and the feedback, iqueenkay! sorry for the choices' issue. I'll keep it as a lesson for managing cursor in the future game ( or maybe a future patch! ).
it was a good game in my opinion, I liked the breaking of the fourth wall along with the continuation of the story, the characters, the development, the gameplay, a good game, the only problem is the dialogue part, because it is something like "just press W" and "read" then it ends up getting a little tedious, I think it could have a little gameplay or tasks in the part of the dialogue with Claire, but I really like it a lot, too bad that in the mirror our character did not appear at the ending "the snow is white", but ok :>
Thank you for giving the game a chance to play, Ezkiiz! Mirror used to have Protag's reflection in it. But due to some technicality I have to pull it out from the build. But I agree, It would added so much to the 'last' cycle if I have it.
ok so i always wanted to know how to make a game or something well i hope your games keep getting better even more and you have more programming skills :>
The game may be too short to be a satisfying experience on its own, but I love all the elements that you've put there.
Having an interactive 3d environment, no matter how simple, provides that much-needed bit of immersion that a visual novel usually lacks. The girls are cute, the romance undertones are appreciated, and the time loops and meta-narratives are always fun things to play with.
You nailed the visuals, too - atmospheric, but simple enough to not be too much work for you.
I hope that you have some plans and ideas for the next, bigger game. If you do, bring Noir back. She's precious.
Ah, and thank you for having a linux version.
Glad to hear you enjoy the game, dicranella! I actually started this project with environment and atmosphere first. With a few wild experiments the red snow was one of the thing that stick with the project. Noir was added in at first just for fun and internal joke with my friend. Looking back now without her I don't think I can come up with any better idea for the ending :D. Thank you for playing and love for Noir!
This is really a very good game smoothness in cutscenes is excellent, at the level of some 3-A, but I will put 9.5 out of 10 because there is no mouse sensitivity adjustment (I can take off into the sky if I want), keep making games.
Thank you very much for playing the game;) about the configuration issue. I will improve it in the next project. (I, too canβt play any fps game with no option to turn off head-bobbing!)
I really liked playing through this short horror tale. Intrigued with the conversations between JC and Claire with their hobbies/profession. The grammar throughout the game requires tweaking here and there, but there's nothing I have encountered that causes the game to shut down. Thank you for making The Snow is Red JADE! :)
Thank you for your Efforts making this wonderful play-through video, FlareBlitzed! I'm glad that in general you're enjoying the game. Your video has gave me a lot of idea how to build upon the current version. Now that I'm finished the 'Post-jam' version I encourage you to revisit The Snow is Red again in its completed form. Cheers :)
i really recommend it for horror and plot twist fans when it come to school i'm a nerd but if its about plot twists i'm a nut head i give it 9,5/10 ... soo would you like to explain the end mr dev?
Thank you for your Rating and your time for playing the game!
To give it with out spoilers. The plot over all is about the circle that continued over and over on one person's life. The choice to break it maybe obvious, maybe it's just an illusion, maybe it doesn't matter at all.

Nice little game. Normally I don't care about grammar issues in games, but in a game that is 90% talking it does ruin the atmosphere.
Thank you for the video and pointing out the issues in the game! most of them are fixed on the current update. So, feel free to try it again if you have time :)

Thank you for a constructive comment! I'll try your suggestion next time. For me a non native speaker. Seeking for a helping hands or team on writing sounds very logical.
I think it should be easy to recruit one or two native speakers to proof read stuff for your next game :3
It was a pretty short fun game, the whole story is kinda clichΓ© and your characters needs more polish on their writing (it wasn't too cringe I reassure you :D !) but for a game jam its really great ! I really love the 3d low poly art, and the music really set the mood, great job !
This is a wonderful game that won my heart, thank you for a good game and for good memorable characters, thank you for a good time
Gotta love it, even though i did play it as if its a adventure game trying to find secrets (either theres none or i suck at finding them) its very nice and i never really got bothered with jades english despite the funny warning.

so we ~possibly~ will have a longer game in the future?
Really good game.
Thank you! also thanks for the Endings' video, 5mg!
This is a really well made game I enjoyed playing it.
Glad you enjoyed the game ππ
Thank you for playing!
I REALY LIKE IT! the music realy matches at the setting of the game, the art is amazing, the history is short, but very immercive, i realy liked!
Before this project I never have much change to work with sounds. And now I know it's something really worth spending time working on to make it feels right or find someone who can to do it for you.

Thank you for playing!

Thank you :)
Avoid yellow!! they're radio-active! XD
Amazing! Are you a native english speaker(out of curiosity)?
Thank you. And no, I'm not native English speaker. :)
Pretty good English nonetheless ^^
but yeah! your game is pretty good! pixel art is also amazing!
Is it horror?
Yes and no, to be honest I didn't intend to make it as a horror from the start. ^ ^'
So i will play it now :)
Thank you :) please enjoy the game!
I'll enjoy !
I knew it would be bad when I saw the cat-girl. At least the room design was nice.
Thank you for playing, and glad you enjoy the apartment ;)
love the 3d and the story, definitely the video was worth it

Unfortunately, the game can't be opened on Apple Silicon M1 using MacOS Ventura :(
sorry to hear that, I donβt have a mac myself. But I will look into it on the next update.
I re-uploaded mac version for both silicon and intel. Should working properly now. Sorry for the issue you found.
And thank you for reporting!
I really liked the game, I was very immersed in Claire's conversation with the protagonist. Anyway, I wish there was more,if had some parts where you walk outside to visit Claire apartment, or making tasks, I think it would be even more fun.
Good job, Jade
