The game presents an interactive narrative with text, sound effects, and limited visuals instead of traditional action scenes. At key moments, the player selects dialogue or action choices, and those decisions alter the story path, available information, and ending. Progress is driven by reading, deduction, and replaying branches to see different outcomes and unlock additional story context.

Haruko Kayama

One of the central female characters who becomes involved in the incident at the mountain lodge and its unfolding mystery.

Protagonist

The player-character, a young man who arrives at the lodge with friends and becomes trapped during the blizzard.

Friends Group

The protagonist’s companions, forming the main social circle and suspect pool surrounding the murders.

Keep multiple save files before major decisions so you can revisit branches without restarting. Even small choices can redirect the investigation, so try different answers when a route ends abruptly. Replays are important because later paths reveal information that clarifies earlier scenes and the true sequence of events.
