About the Game

Above the Snow is a one-of-a-kind story-driven management game about a crew of friends running a mountain vacation business!

The winter of the century is here – prepare your hot cocoa, stay warm, cozy up, and try to survive harsh competition, demanding guests, nosy reporters, and the incoming Great Avalanche.

Become the best Alpine resort in the region!

The shelter is home not only to your guests, but also to a ragtag crew – each with their own reasons for being there!

  • Enjoy 20+ hours of rich, character-driven storytelling in a unique Alpine winter setting!

  • Experience growth, teamwork, sabotage, unexpected fame, and weather crises. Nobody leaves the mountains unchanged!

  • Each worker has their own strengths and weaknesses – use them wisely! (Except Francis. He just runs really fast.)

  • Time management is key – there’s always work to be done!

  • The dog is named Brutus. He’s probably a good boy. You’ll have to find out for yourself!

Call it a shelter, lodge, hotel, or resort – it's your hospitality business in the snowy heart of the Alps. Your goal? Make it the go-to destination for daring alpinists.

  • Provide entertainment, storage space, and beds for everyone!

  • Furnish it your way!

  • Manage the alpinist economy – want more thrill-seekers? Attract them with smart interior design and facilities!

  • Expand outdoors – a real resort doesn’t stop at the main building!

  • Boost morale! A happy, well-rested alpinist is a safe alpinist!

  • Manage equipment – for both your team and your guests!

A lodge stay is only half the adventure. The other half? Mapping out trails through the Alpine wilderness!

  • Design trails that match your guests’ skills and preferences!

  • Upgrade difficult segments, add camp points, and avoid dangers – unless your guests are ready for them!

  • Guide trails to peaks, ski slopes, monuments, and more!

  • Perform rescue missions, transport goods, and more with the Trail Task system!

  • Use realistic land and air vehicles inspired by actual Alpine tech!

  • And whatever you do – don’t let anyone find Francis's bag (he hid it very well)!

  • Story’s not your thing? Try Endless Winter Mode – play as long as you like without worrying about the plot. The crew’s still there, just a bit less stressed!

Remember to pack up enough snacks, and see you on the trail!

The game has a nice premise, but it's fails to deliver something that feels fun. The genre is a resource-management, but the interface is built for a different genre of game - you have to get wood for your place, so you

I had higher hopes for this one and I wanted to like it but in the end I would not recommend it. Completing the game took only 11h but it felt like 50h. theres very little you actually do here except spam wood

Pains me to give the thumbs down on this quaint game. I enjoy decorating the resort and the trail making is fun, but hard to recommend with many QOL things lacking... no possibility to set queues? At least a simple

As of this review, the game would definetly benefit from some bugfixes and QoL updates but the developers seem to be adressing these. Anyway, I think it's a good timekiller and I liked seeing my lodge come together and

[strike] Loved the game, but after the latest patch, placing certain types of furniture corrupts the save. Lost all my progress. [/strike] Edit: Still a few bugs, but nothing too bad. 8/10

as others said, it's really unique game with a strong setting, but I think you're better off treating this as a story game with some management sprinkled in than a management game with story. The micromanagement gets
