Above the Snow

Above the Snow is a story-driven management game about a crew of friends running a mountain resort in the Alps. During the winter of the century, you build a business for daring alpinists while dealing with demanding guests, competition, reporters, sabotage and weather crises, including the threat of the Great Avalanche. The story follows a ragtag crew, each with their own reasons for being at the shelter, through more than 20 hours of character-driven events involving teamwork, growth and unexpected fame.

Run the resort

Manage the shelter as a hospitality business, providing beds, storage and entertainment for guests. Furnish and expand the property, including its outdoor areas, and use facilities and interior design to attract alpinists with different interests. Keep morale up so guests are well-rested and safe, and manage equipment for both your crew and your guests. Time management matters, as there is always work to do.

Each worker has strengths and weaknesses to consider. Francis is the exception: he just runs really fast. The crew also includes Brutus the dog, and Francis has hidden a bag somewhere.

Plan Alpine trails

Map routes through the wilderness to peaks, ski slopes, monuments and other destinations. Design trails to suit guests’ skills and preferences, upgrade difficult sections, add camp points and decide whether to avoid dangers or send guests through them. The Trail Task system lets you carry out rescue missions, transport goods and take on other tasks. You can also use land and air vehicles inspired by real Alpine technology.

Endless Winter Mode

Endless Winter Mode lets you play for as long as you like without following the plot. The crew remains part of the game, but faces less stress.
