Update 12/01/2023 - Added a WebGL version on the Itch page, includes a bugfix to show some text cropped off screen and a fix to some sound effects not playing.
Ride snowmobiles, battle eldritch horrors, and fall for your co-workers, and contend with the stubborn jerk Reindeer in a frozen wasteland.
Contains mild swearing.

Deer can be stubborn - have you tried physically pushing them?
The pause menu has options for resetting a level and muting one of the more irritating sounds.
The first stage is pretty slow but the pace increases quickly.

Driving mechanics are cool and i loved the mood of this game.
Keep it up
Nice entry, very spooky, damned antediluvian horrors from the frozen wastes, always getting in the way of budding love :P.
I did expect that the story would go somewhere more ambitious with more and more little developments piling on top of each other and your friend not being who they might seem. What I honestly didn't like as much was the transition to the last level. The creature(s) being suddenly there, the action music and the creatures looking so cartoonish ruined the horror a bit for me but until then it was expertly done. The tension was just released a bit awkwardly. I would have preferred something more subtle encroaching from the darkness in the middle of a normal mission where you don't necessarily expect it.
Still a quite impressive entry since you are only one person. Graphics (with the exception of the "eldritch horrors"), sound, movement and the general idea were spot on.
