A holiday game to remember — Odencat’s Snowman Story now on Switch!
Classic title from Meg’s Monster and Bear’s Restaurant developer gets surprise Holiday release.
This beloved tale of a snowman's journey to find an arctic paradise where he can be safe from the coming spring was previously a Google Indie Games Festival 2020 award winner. This version of the game will include the quality-of-life additions found in the previously released Steam version.
Note for press and streamers: Steam and Switch codes are available to interested media for review and streaming purposes. (Switch codes are limited.) Please email elisha@odencat.com with the outlet or channel for consideration.
In Snowman Story, players take control of a snowman named Chris on a journey to find a fabled land far to the north—a paradise where it is said that his kind may be able to survive their inevitable fate of melting when spring arrives. Along the way, he’ll encounter a whole host of woodland critters who’ll guide him on his way and offer assistance with the game’s icy puzzle stages.
He’ll also follow in the footsteps of other fallen snowmen, each with their own tragic tale to tell of how they tried and failed to make the very same pilgrimage. By reading memories from their remains and hearing their cautionary tales, Chris just might be able to avoid the same fate.
Nindie Spotlight calls Snowman Story, ""an enjoyable and contemplative adventure", and this new version will include features such as controller support and landscape mode as well as a tighter and revamped English translation.
"We are very happy to have launched another game on Switch," Said Odencat Founder Daigo Sato, "Snowman Story is a great game to cozy up with this Christmas season, and we're hopeful that this version will find its way to more of our fans! Like our other titles, it may be a cute game on the surface, but there's a lot of ideas about life and death that are explored in this story. We're excited to see what next year holds, but for now it's a perfect time to relax on the holidays."
With these new additions, plus all previously released additional content from the mobile version, this cozy Christmas tale is the perfect game to bundle up with this holiday season!
