Left alone in the empty room, can you solve the puzzles of fire and ice and find your way out? Snowy Lodge Escape is a heartwarming, gentle point-and-click escape game with no horror. An icicle xylophone, frost ferns on the glass, a key frozen inside a block of ice, the moon mirrored on still water — here the beauty of ice and water itself becomes the puzzle, in a gentle, linear seasonal adventure. - Fire and ice contrast The warm orange of the hearth marks your progress; the clear shimmer of ice and water reveals your discoveries — including the emotional moment you light the star atop the tree. - Great for Fans of escape rooms and brain teasers, anyone looking for a cozy, non-scary game, and everyone who loves the feeling of Christmas and winter. - Features All ages, no horror. Fully playable offline. Staged hints so you never get stuck. Collect five hidden snowflake charms for a special ending. A gentle 45 minutes of puzzles by the fire. Merry Christmas, and good night.
