Augustine and Winnie have always been together their whole childhood. Ever since elementary school up until now, when they have graduated high school. They were inseparable.

But now that Winnie got accepted to his university, he is soon leaving town. The two decide to spend their last day together before his move.

Not long after they hopped into Winnie's car, they suddenly find themselves trapped in a freezing blizzard.

... It's currently July.

Cold Front is a short 2.5D RPG Maker horror/narrative-driven game with visual novel/adventure elements following the story of two childhood friends, Augustine and Winnie, suddenly being trapped in a freezing blizzard even though it's the summer. The two have to work together to escape the chilling dangers they are suddenly forced into.

This was a game made for a Korean RPG Maker game jam/contest where you were challenged to make a full game in under a month.

This is the second game I have ever developed and in just 25 days at that so the mechanics, puzzles and storytelling might feel a little short/less-dynamic, but I am looking to improve in the future!

All tips and feedback are greatly appreciated, 

Thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy the game!

It's super rare for me to cry let alone get my eyes watery but this game made me all TEARY.

Its very rare for me to leave a comments, but this game just- wow. I cant say I've ever cried like this for any game but ngl I was in TEARS, 10/10 gameplay experience the dialogue everything loved it.

Love all of your games I've played your definitely one my favorite creators, I hope truly hope you continue making games like this and more.

Have a great day/night! <3

This game is so great, It got me in the feels. You should be proud for making this, I love it. Thank you so much.

Playing through this game and loving it! Although I cant seem to save, I'm playing on a Mac and when I try to save it by clicking confirm or any other button it doesnt proceed. Only thing I can do is press X to exit, any ideas?
Thank you!

I don't usually leave comments, but I just have to say something about their dialogue in the good ending, It was so well-written and heart-warming it actually made me tear up. 

This is one of the few games that made me EMOTIONAL. Its deffo one of my fave RPG games now. And the fact that this was made in like... 25 days?! I gotta give it to you Rachel, you have TALENT. The dedication on the art and the storylines you put in your games?? Absolutely excellent. 

I hope you get the recognition you deserve in the future, and god forbid you stop making these type of games (pls dont do that). And as always, i'll keep waiting for more! Thank you for making this game, you are one of my favorite creators/authors. 

<3 <3

THIS GAME IS SO SWEET OMG

God when I tell you how this killed me, the good ending (where they both survived) scene had me bawling my eyes out in a good way :"D The whole scene was really a massive hit to reality, how every little doings really matters, how a friendship never works without it's own flaws but that's the point. I usually don't leave any comments on games, but I just have to express how this game took my heart <3

So I just have too seriously, the story itself is so well-written, the gameplay was simply but in a way which makes things so intriguing, don't even get me started with the art, the amazing nicely matched colouring, their really the definition of the colour red and blue!1 Please keep up the hard work, you are seriously so underrated its a crime huhu :'3

¿It happens to someone else that when they download and extract the game and enter the file, the file called GAME does not appear?

There's nothing like it at all?? No "game.exe"? I think you should just redownload then

I have watched play throughs of this game because I’m super disappointed I can’t play it on IPad. This game is amazing and, just like almost everyone else, I’ve gotten emotionally attached to Winnie and I love him so much I created a D&D character after him while my siblings and I learn how to play. I really want there to be a mobile Apple version. Keep up the good work! I’m super excited to see more games by the same creator, though I haven’t found play throughs for games that I don't know if they’ve come out yet like Bittersweet Sentence. The art is amazing and I can’t stop trying to find other games by the creator. Have an amazing day to whoever read this!

I adore this game, the art is superb, and the characters are relatable at least to me. Winnie is my fav

I played your first and last game and came here to start completing the saga hehe
I just adore your unique style and storytelling. You never disappoint.

Such an enjoyable and heartwarming game, and I know nothing about developing, but 25 days for this level of detail sounds like a challenge!

Congrats!!

I cried playing this game. it was beautiful, goddamn...

I LOVE IT SO MUCH OMG I LOVE ALL OF YOUR GAMES THEY'RE SO GOOD

GREAT GAME, cried like a baby lol

i love all of rachels games but this one especially. rachel keeps up that theme of insanity in a wonderful way with beautiful visuals and haunting dialogue. this game hit close to home because I often find myself jealous of somebody, trying to pick myself out of the blame, to the point i just want to kill the person who is making me feel this way. in the game, i decided to make the crucial decision of not pushing winnie down the stairs, because of this ending, i felt really touched and i was almost crying because it is something i can relate to. i then went back and completed the other ending as well (i still prefer the first one) 

overall, amazing game, definitely play it!!!

I love the designs and all but I have one big problem, when I download the file I cant find the program game. This is a same issue for elevator hitch

I didn't play it yet but I saw a gameplay of laurenzside playing it and i just have to say this was the cutest heartwarming story I have ever watched I burst in tears in the end and I'm such a Winnie x Augustine shipper the art style is adoreable and I hope the creator decides to make a part 2

This is such a beautiful game!!! Thank you so much for creating this beauty!!!

The art style is sooooo cute 

The game is so cute, but it made me cry!! I realized that I relate to the characters and the story...I have never cried to a game before! I love your work so much! The characters are very well made, and the development is just on point. I loved all of the games you made [and that I have played] so far and I am very much looking forward to your next masterpiece of a game!

just finished both endings! (SKIP THIS COMMENT IF YOU'RE READING BEFORE YOU PLAY BC THIS WILL HAVE SOME SPOILERS!!!)

ASBDSAGSBADGSAHGVDSA THIS GAMEEE

i got the good ending first and i actually started to tear up it's so sweetttt T^T

AND THE OTHER ENDING MADE ME SO SADDDD!! he became the spooky evil swirly figure in the end :<

in conclusion, horror games i like where people push someone they care about down stairs: 2

great game!! :D

I REALLY want to continue this game... My potato laptop can't handle it. I never got past that first chase scene cause my computer was just struggling. It seems like a really cute & interesting game. I hope I can play it in the future.

Had to try it for myself and I'm really astonished by the story! I love the details about their personality and the endings. I'm glad for Auggie and Winnie's relationship <33 Overall a good game! Applause for the team

One of the best games I've played this year!..

Had a little trouble with the chase scene but overall really great game, love the message as well <3 

this game was so good ! i really liked augustine and winnie and also the overall aesthetic of the game,, i DO wish it was longer though, i would've liked liked seeing more of the main character's backstories and stuff. also it kept freezing but i'm not sure whether it was a problem with my pc or the game itself,,, other than that, good job !!
