How it feels
A slow, atmospheric point-and-click mystery set in an isolated snowy hotel, where you piece together clues through detailed pre-rendered scenes and moral ambiguity.

What players say
Players praise the hand-drawn art and atmosphere but are sharply divided on the rest. The English voice acting gets universal scorn, the ending is called abrupt and nonsensical, and many reviewers report game-breaking bugs in the second half. Some find it a charming old-school adventure, others consider it a disjointed mess that wastes a great premise.
