Developer Above the Desk and publisher Wandering Wizard have announced the Steam release of their unique title, Above the Snow. This narrative-driven tycoon game transports players to the snowy Alps of the 1960s, challenging them to take over and run a mountain shelter.
In Above the Snow, players do more than just provide a warm bed for travelers; they must craft a welcoming atmosphere. This involves managing finances, expanding the lodge with new structures, and even coordinating helicopter supply drops — because in the high mountains, resources are never easy to come by.
Key Features:
- 1960s Atmosphere: Use period-accurate equipment and vehicles to chart trails and keep the lodge running.
- Trail Design: Create hiking routes tailored to guest skills, from scenic strolls to challenging summit climbs.
- Mountaineering Legends: The game features real-life legends Marek Kamiński (the first to reach both poles solo) and Ed Viesturs (the first American to summit all 14 eight-thousanders without oxygen) as in-game characters.
- Atmospheric Gameplay: Designed as a relaxing experience, the game blends tycoon mechanics with breathtaking views and charming narratives.
Above the Snow is available on Steam now, perfect for curling up under a warm blanket with a mug of hot chocolate.
