Sknow

Sknow is a role-playing game and a remake of the 2016 game Xueyi. You play as Fu Jingru, who arrives with a group of companions at a villa on a snowy mountain for a holiday. As danger and deaths mount, you investigate a murder that is not an ordinary case and try to uncover the truth behind it.

Investigate your companions

In Deduction Mode, every companion may be suspect. Talk to them to gather clues and analyze what they say; conversations can also unlock new topics that reveal what they are hiding. Look for contradictions in their words and assess the evidence without letting your feelings cloud your judgment.

Investigation Mode asks you to search for evidence and traces left at scenes that may have been cleaned up. Keep track of the evidence you collect: it is your only means of identifying the culprits.

Face the nightmares

In Nightmare Mode, nightfall draws Fu Jingru into dreams shaped by pain and sorrow. You must find a way through the dangers there, while someone uses the dreams to stop you from continuing the investigation.

Choose whom to accuse

In Puzzle Mode, you must decide whether to face the truth and accuse companions who have been important to you. The game has 10 endings: six Bad Ends, two Normal Ends, one True End and one Good End, which is available on a second playthrough. It also includes seven Dead Ends and quick-time events.

Characters and playtime

The main characters are Fu Jingru, Lu Jiaxing, Su Yanning and Wei Yangdong. A single playthrough takes about two hours; the fastest route to a Normal End or True End takes about one hour, while playing without a guide takes about two and a half hours. The remake updates all character portraits and the deduction logic, adds many CG illustrations and about 1.5 times as much text, and expands the number of characters you can accuse to seven. It has 10 routes, with an individual ending for each character, and puts more emphasis on the story while making the deduction more rigorous.
