First Snow

First Snow is a visual novel about Allison Merlo and Eileen Turner during their first months at community college, leading up to Christmas. A prequel spinoff of Twofold, it follows Allison as she adjusts to living away from her family, deals with loneliness and tries to make friends in an unfamiliar place. Her attention turns to Eileen, a cold, enigmatic artist, setting Allison on an unexpected course.

The students

Allison is a recent high school graduate whose grades are not a problem, but whose quiet nature makes it hard to find friends. She tries to be kind to everyone she meets. Eileen prefers to be alone and concentrates on improving her painting in an old, seldom-used campus art room. Her brusque manner tends to put people off.

Caprice is a loud, energetic student known as an eccentric presence in the art department. After sitting beside Allison in life science class, she decides they are friends. Despite their contrasting personalities, the extroverted Caprice and introverted Allison get along surprisingly well. The story also features the varied people around them.

Story and presentation

The game tells a girls' love romance story and uses a papercraft style for its character sprites and custom interface. It has an original soundtrack and partial voice acting: CG scenes are fully voiced, while sprite dialogue is partially voiced.

An extras gallery showcases CGs and guest art by numerous artists.
