VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Snow Daze: The Music of Winter [v1.6] [Outbreak Games]

I'm huge fan of incest game. And also brainwash thing.
When I searching for adult game, My No.1 priority is always incest game.
Than No.2 is brainwash game. And Snow Daze has both of them! I love it!!!
But it's really hard to find even decent incest game.
I can count a good incest game I played in 10 years with my one hand .
However This GAME. Snow Daze is a perfect! It's easily rank in my Top 3
incest game ever I played.(Including Japanese adult game. cuz my Japanese
level is middle-high.)
The artwork, plot, dialogue, sound, voice, everything is wonderful!!!
Of course there are few minor complains. But It's just small complains.
If you are a big fan of the incest game? You must play Snow Daze, you should.
And If you are not a fan of the incest game? Don't play it. That's it.

The replayabilty value for this game is insane for me. I keep coming back to it and playing it over and over again and its as good each time. This is one of my favorites for sure. Up there with four elements trainer.

Incest VN with four individual paths of mental corruption through hypnotism. Slowly turn your mom and sisters from mean bitches to sex slaves. Amazing english voice acting that adds so much to the experience. Simple 2D art, no animations. All girls are thick (big rack, tits and thighs) which is a big plus in my book. Additional star for a thighjob scene. The art style is cool, unfortunately there just isn't much of it. One or two sex sprites for each of the four girls that's just disappointingly too little. Sex scenes are the worst part of this VN and it's a big drawback since it's an adult game after all. This VN promises a taste of chubby chaser but doesn’t really deliver and leaves too much to imagination.

Good game, nice animations, images and story. Would've love to see a bit more naughty scenes in the end since it felt like the game ended a bit too soon. The voice of mother/aunt or whatever she is was throwing me off a bit but I loved the other voices.

The game is a simple and short story that focusing to 3 fetishes: mind control/hypnosis, submission and family taboo.

Lets start with the good. The best thing of this game is the acting voices for all the 4 female characters of the game. And the second good thing is the decent writing. When I say writing I mean the separate text, dialogues and the English language. Not the story as a whole.

As I said before the story is short and very simple but if the dev wants to make a simple story and just focus to certain fetishes its ok for me. The problem here is that even that is not implemented well and the built up is not good at all. Also the dialogues are a lot of repetitive. Personally from one point and after I felt a bit frustrated and just await the game to end. And speaking for endings they are not so good either.

And now lets go to the visual part. Reading some reviews I was a bit surprised by people praising this part of the game. I don't know maybe we have other kind of standards or playing a different game. For me the visual part of the game is very poor. Lets start with the female models. I'm not going to say that they are bad and the appearance is somehow subjective but I have seen better at other games with similar kind of models such as summertime saga, the manor, a town uncovered, etc. But even then the base models for the characters is not the the problem here. Where is the problem ? Everywhere else:
- The environment is almost non existent. It's just a hut covered with snow and 2-3 colorless background images for the rooms.
- The game has limited visual action. For example the text may describe 4-5 different actions like kissing, cuddling, etc. but you never see something like that visually. You just see the characters at the same position in front of the background image and just read the text.
- Weird or wrong positioning of the characters in some cases.
- Lewd / sex scenes. I must say that the result in most cases is disappointing. Aside from the relatively low quality or uninspiring of the lewd / sex scenes there are also some things that are unacceptable for me. In many scenes there are cut off body parts of the MC such us the cock and hands. Yeah the MC suddenly transforms to a cut off dick or cut off hands! Also the female bodies become unnatural big and fat at these scenes.
- For animations I'm not going to say anything because practically they are not existent.

The only thing that keeps me playing this game until the end was the acting voices and some good dialogues. But overall is a poor game.

Great game. Loads of content. The voice-overs were great and it's a rare element when comes to these types of games. I think the creator is making a sequel to the game. In any case, I look forward to the creator's future projects.

the story, art, ritm of narrative this ame have all, for a simple story with the hipnosis argument, have the best development, and the most best justification of a arem ending, and the detal of voices become this game a pice of art in the wolrd of erotic games,

Oh, oh, oh. MAN. There is something about totally not 3d or however is called, im sorry im not sciencitifyc; that get me into it to the most immersive level, is extremely enjoyable, and simple. Plus it looks fucking awesome.
The story may not be the biggest thing but... we dont come here for that do we, and everything else it just suits so good. Man, i didnt know voiced games could be this good before, good shit, good shit, there is no need of science to explain this goodgoodgood shit.

This was an absolutely amazing game. The story was a wild ride! I actually was thrown into so many different emotions in this game that I didn't think I could feel in a porn game haha.

The beginning of the game actually made me do a lot of thinking about how people act and how little decisions can really send people spiraling into different paths of life. Almost made me cry ngl.

I really liked the art style and thought all of the girls were beautiful. I wouldn't even be able to tell you who my favorite was I actually liked all of there personalities.

This game is hard to do though without a walkthrough. There are so many decisions that could cause you to take a wrong turn. That or use the save system and back tools to really help you push through. I wouldn't let this stop you though from trying. (Though I will say shockingly it might have actually been interesting to try it without a walkthrough. The girls actually give you all the answers to there desires and a lot of your responses correspond to those desires generally the idea is to select those desires.)

Giving this a full star rating and can't wait to see the next one.

I played this game some time ago but sometimes I keep coming to its excellent ending. It is excellent in so many ways. Art is great, the characters are fun and the theme just ticks all the right marks for me. The voice acting from the girls is amazing and adds soo much to the experience. It has to be one of my favourites and I will likely replay it soon.

Solid 8/10

It kind of pains me to rate this game so low. There was a lot that was done well. But the polish wasn't as good as expected.

Gameplay 5/10

Standard VN gameplay. Click through text. Multiple choices. Very vanilla.

However with multiple choices should come multiple outcomes. This just wasn't there. This game was essentially a hallway simulator or a kinetic novel. There's choices, but the choices only lead to failure events.

I get it. Branching paths is difficult and it leads to an exponential amount of work. But that's what makes a 10/10 game.

Story 10/10

Incest. Yep. With that out of the way.

The hypnotism was quite fun. Each hypnotism session is like a little mini-game of multiple choices which lead to an outcome. The text for each sessions was also quite enjoyable.

Each character is unique in their own way with their own personalities. You hypnotize them through their personality quirks and that's what made the game really enjoyable.

Corruption 11/10

Ahh. The shining gem. This is one of the best corruption games I've ever played.

Instant hypnotism is boring. Instant submission is boring.

Slow and deliberate corruption is where it's at. And this game has it in spades. Four individual paths of mental corruption.

Voice Acting 9/10

Fucking. English. Voice Acting. Wowzers.

I've never had English VA in a VN before and boy is it awesome. I've heard plenty of Japanese VAs and it's always a plus but English VA is really something else.

With Japanese VAing, the voice is nice to put to a face, but really, you just skip the VAing once you've read the text. But here, even after reading the text, you wait to hear the English VAing. Just wow. I can't believe what a difference it made.

However, I rated this 9/10. It's high because of the novelty of English voice acting. The voice actresses were... novices. Sarah talked way too fast for some lines. Kira's VA sometimes deadpaned a line, just kind of read it instead of voice acted it. Noelle's voice fluctuated from authoritative voice to non, which can be argued as intentional.

Art 5/10

It's not my style. Might be yours. In general, the art was mediocre.

However, the art was inconsistent. High quality here and there, lower quality strewn about. Consistency is important.

Then there were just some weirdness like Noelle's hair. It would be up/down within a single scene. Either not enough art assets or laziness.

Overall 8/10

Again, it hurts to rate this so low. I greatly enjoyed my time playing this game and would highly recommend it (barring you don't have problems with incest). But the lack of choice and the art brings this down to a mere 8/10 from me.

Definitely one of the best western porn games, being voiced, and actually quality voiced is such a rarity this immediately stand outs, it's not perfect and won't appeal to everyone's fetish but it's one hell of a ride for those of us who are in that kind of stuff.

The art is really good, it is kind of inconsistent in the way that the model look from conversation to when they are in sex scene but that's trivial, in general it's great, all girls have big tits and are thicc as fuck, not really any diversity between the design but that's not too much of a problem as this game is all about the porn anyway.

The writing is um......something, so many lines are hilarious on they're own but the fact that they're voiced made me laugh a few times. The girls have they're specific personality and quirk, all starting of as bitch making it very easy to actually want to hypnotize them and turn them into sex slaves.

Overall a must play for western porn game fan, undoubtedly recommended !

The game has voice acting! That is so cool. I

The story is OK, its a bit cliche but then this is a porn game so whatever. The characters have their own personailities and quirks which is nice. The voice acting is pretty spot on for the entire game, there are maybe one or two lines here and there that are a bit bland but still, very impressive.

The art is fine, but a bit more attention to detail could have helped.

Overall, a well paced well voice acted game.

Kudos.

Phenomenal game! Voice acting is great overall and makes the game what it is. The writing is ok, and does its job with some good comedy, and characters that feel unique, cute, and desirable. The art is fantastic and is a definite plus as well!

My biggest issues were that the game didn't build up much of an emotional attachment to the characters. Sure the sex scenes were amazing, and the voice actors pulled their weight in droves, but I felt like having a bit more empathy for the girls would've made these scenes all the better. Although if you're someone whose only here for the sex, then this is 100% and 5 stars for you.

This game was a little weird for me. The leadup to the climax of this game ended up being much more enjoyable than the ending. This is probably a 3.5 for me but I would have loved to have a bit more of an ending scene for each of the girls.

This game feels like a hentai plot.
The music and moans also voice actors/actresses are perfect.
I really like the models and all the girls.
Funny how the MC can still choose when he can get all the girls.
A very very great game

Finished the game today. Here's my takeaway:

Pros:
+ Excellent voice acting. This game is filthy even by h-game standards, and I'm not talking about just the incest aspect. The dialogue is extremely raunchy with phrases like 'I'm your anal-loving buttslut' and 'make me cum my brains out', and the voice actresses deliver those lines with such passion that it's hard to not be turned on.
+ Good variety of characters with strong personalities. In the beginning all the characters feel pretty unlikable, but that just makes it more rewarding and hot when their barriers start breaking under Jason's hypnosis.

Cons:
- Like Rambling Noob said, the art style is very inconsistent. The sprites look great, but the pictures in the actual h-scenes look like they were drawn by a completely different artist. I won't say the anatomy is necessarily bad, but the faces are definitely off and the overall presentation just didn't feel sexy to me. I liked the Sarah buttjob scene, but other than that the h-stuff was very disappointing. Especially the scenes with Noelle looked nothing like her sprite.
- Jason's hypnosis shenanigans get a bit repetitive. It's cool to see a couple times how he puts his siblings / mom in a trance, but having the same thing happen like 30 in the game gets boring. We get it, he puts them in a trance with music, we don't need to read about the process every single time, just get to the interesting part.

Overall:
This is a decent game that could have been great if the h-scenes looked as good as the character sprites. I loved the voice actresses and I hope to hear them again in other h-games. I'm not usually into hypnosis as I'm a pretty vanilla type guy, but I still enjoyed the story of this game because although it was raunchy as hell, it didn't feel too mean-spirited or rapey in spite of the subject matter.

Quirky and with the best writing I've seen, the story is the personification of a cat. You could question its whims but at the same time it's fluffy and you love it. Its charm brings characters to life, helped by equally dynamic voice-acting. Hearing a girl occasionally bark will make you laugh. I'm not going to spoil any more about her or others - you'll just have to play!

Its 3-4 hours' length almost impacted the scoring I gave. But you know what? It's short but not unfinished. The story wraps up fine. So this urge to want more comes from enjoying it. It aimed to be a lighthearted comic more than a novel, and it achieved exactly what it set out to do.

It left a smile.

It's 2020 and I cannot believe it's taken me so long to find Snow Daze.

This is one of the most superlative adult games, period. The voice acting, writing, art, and interface are all top quality; the attention to detail is excellent and there's solid replay value. I was stunned to find such a good game so randomly (thank you, aimless F95 site scrolling) and hope others enjoy too!

Easily my favorite and most played game of all time. Story and graphics are great, and I really enjoy the voice acting which takes it to another level. Replayed several times and still get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
