Winter/Snow-themed adventure games?
I've always loved the atmosphere of a crackingly good winter or snow-based adventure game. Syberia I and II immediately spring to mind, but are there any others? My memory is failing me ...........
Thanks |
Interesting question. I immediately thought of Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express, although most of the game takes place inside the train of course. But when you get out there's lots of snow. I remember a little snow in Dreamfall and in the oldie Big Red Advenure, which takes place in Russia.
EDIT: Oh, and Dracula 3: Path of the Dragon. And there's bound to be snow in Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek. Haven't played it though. I'm sure there must be many more. :) |
The Winter Rose
Snow Indiana Jones and The Temple of Spheres |
Thanks - Snow? Who is that by?

It's more of a puzzle game than adventure, but Telltale's Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent has great Fargo-esque snowy atmosphere.

There was a fantastic trilogy of Xmas games.
Now what were they called again......:) http://www.adventuregamers.com/blogitem.php?id=48 |
One of the ages in the last Myst game, End of Ages, was a snowscape. I actually quite enjoyed that one.
|
Runaway 2 had a segment in snowy Alaska.

The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time had a large portion that took place in the mythical Shangri-la, lots of snow there.
|
Still Life takes place right before Christmas.
Also, don't forget the acclaimed Christmas Quest trilogy... |
Still Life is set around Xmas.
Cryostasis is set in a frozen ice cutter. |
The fantastic (and free!) old fashioned horror game Enclosure is set in Greenland and uses winter to brilliantly create a very cold and isolated atmosphere. It's definitely worth checking out.

A big part of Lost Horizon hapens on snow. You directly walk ober the snow after a plane crash on the mountains, including inside cold caves... And also in a temple in China.
The Moment of Silence includes a part in North Pole (if I am not mistaken). But definitely there is a lot of snow. |
If we're scrutinizing games for snow so much, even Gabriel Knight had its portion of it (Rittersberg!) - you even picked some snow and used it as water.
The current screenshot of the week game - Star Trek 25th Anniversary - has a snow-covered planet at the very beginning. Snow makes guest appearances in almost every good adventure. |
