The last survivor of a plane crash. It's -20 degrees Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit), and Anna has only the uniform of a flight attendant - and an old transceiver. The storm of the century is coming. Can you save Anna? Cold Crash is a survival game that takes you on a hellish ride through the Alps. Keep in touch with Anna in real time like in a chat app and bring her safely down to the valley. Take on the role of the experienced but aged mountain rescuer Marcus in this adventure. Anna's time is running out. She was the only one to survive the crash of the small private plane. But she lacks warm clothing, equipment and mountain experience. Huts and hotels are nailed up, ski lifts have stopped, tourists and even the Alpine Mountain Rescue are hiding in the valley in front of the Blizzard of the century. How much time does Anna have left to search the plane wreckage for anything she might still need? How can she survive this adventure - and maybe even find out why the plane crashed at all? Was it an accident or sabotage? Anna has no choice but to rely on what Marcus can convey to her through the old transmitter- - and somehow get through to the valley before all hell breaks loose... Cold Crash - the interactive novel in the style of a survival game. • Over 200 pages of text • You decide how Anna’s story ends • Grown-up dialogue for grown-up readers: Marcus is the last Mountain Rescuer online. Experience Anna's story as a real conversation between two people. A woman and a man, both under a lot of pressure and doing a lot right, but also a lot wrong, depending on how the player decides. • Eight different ends - can you achieve a happy ending? And if so, which one? • Real-time storytelling: Cold Crash takes place in real time. Anna won't get in touch with you all the time. She may even won't let you hear from her for minutes or hours. Like the story's really happening right now. • Easy to learn - just a tap of the finger is all it takes to help Anna • Easy to use - You have reached a dead end? No problem, just scroll back and choose another answer, anytime! • Difficult to master - on Anna's way many dangers lurk, for inexperienced ones without equipment and appropriate clothes the mountains hold many dangers ready, completely particularly in the blizzard... • Don't want to wait? Turn off the real-time mode and play Cold Crash on a (long) afternoon. • Make another decision? You can always just jump back and go another way. • Survival and adventure - real actions, real decisions, real consequences. Cold Crash remembers which objects Anna finds on her way, which decisions she makes and which opportunities she rejects... • The story adapts to your decisions ## Key features - Real-time chat interface - Branching narrative with multiple endings - Survival and adventure gameplay - Over 200 pages of text - Decision-based story progression - Real-time storytelling mode ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Teil 2 | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 18) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cold-crash/id1076412008/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Super Spiel *2019-06-12* War begeistert hat sich super lesen lassen,mag solche spiel nur leider gibt es nicht viel davon. Kann ich nur empfehlen . Für diesen Preis spitze ### 2/5 — Noch viel Luft nach oben *2019-01-24* Die Geschichte ist garnicht so sehr beeinflussbar wie man denk am Ende ist dann doch alles sehr ähnlich und nicht überraschend. Das erneute durchspielen kostet nur Zeit und die Dialoge ändern sich auch kaum. Außerdem entscheidet man eher selten oder Sachen die nicht wirklich wichtig zu scheinen sein. Schade ums Geld ### 1/5 — Langweilige Dialoge *2018-08-18* Das Konzept ist eigentlich ganz gut, aber auf jemanden, der gerne und viel in den Bergen unterwegs ist, wirken die Dialoge unsinnig und unlogisch. Die zu rettende Person scheint nie wirklich den Ernst der Lage zu erkennen und der Helfer scheint nicht wirklich Leben retten zu wollen. Egal, in welche Richtung ich die Handlung bewegt habe. Schade. ### 2/5 — Oh no, well I was hopeful *2018-08-15* (Spoiler free) The idea of the story is quite well thought out; a plane has crash landed and there is only one survivor, the survivor is 2 hours away from certain death from an oncoming storm called Goliath and the story revolves around her conversations by text to the only help available, HOWEVER the story fails to capture the realistic story line and and the dialogue that comes out often has no input to the plot or worse doesn’t make sense that the characters are saying it, This game fails to capture the realistic nature and ends up an uninteresting mess with ridiculous comments from both characters that do not relate to their personalities ### 2/5 — Poor writing *2018-08-13* A game like this lives or dies on the quality of its writing and sadly I found it to be pretty terrible. It’s free so by all means try it out, but my copy was uninstalled after about 5 minutes ### 1/5 — Grotten schlechte Übersetzung *2018-08-11* Die Konversation die dort betrieben wird ist so schlecht in Szene gestellt. Über Funk wird gefragt ob es Gefährlich ist wenn etwas brennt . Oder können Sie mich sehen . Ganz im Ernst wer hat sich das ausgedacht. Und die Texte wirken übersetzt durch Google. ### 1/5 — Unverschämtheit muss bestraft werden! *2018-08-11* Erst locken die Macher mit dem Gratisspiel, aber wer weiterlesen möchte wird zur Kasse gebeten! Unverschämtes Pack! Schämt euch! **Developer response:** Danke für dein Review. Wir haben im Update Text ganz klar darauf hingewiesen, dass nur der erste Teil jetzt gratis ist. Und wir finden 2 Euro für ein Projekt, in dem ein Jahr Arbeit steckt, nicht unverschämt. ### 2/5 — Zu wenig interaktiv *2018-08-11* Recht viele kleine Textabschnitte, die einfach aufpoppen ohne dass man einen Einfluss darauf hat ### 1/5 — broken english *2018-08-10* your translation bot isn't very good clearly ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel! Spannend und abwechslungsreich. *2017-12-25* Sehr gute Dialoge, wird nicht langweilig. Es gelingt, dass der Spieler sich in die Rolle der Protagonisten versetzen kann.
