From Wandering Wizard:
Above The Snow is a cozy, story-driven tycoon set in the ruthless beauty of the 1960s Alps. Build and customize your dream mountain lodge in striking Mid-Century Modern style, then step outside and take control of the mountain itself. Plan dangerous trails, manage gear, read shifting weather, and rescue stranded alpinists while catering to a diverse cast of guests, each with their own demands, personalities, and breaking points. Every choice shapes your crew, your reputation, and who makes it off the mountain. With 20+ hours of narrative, dynamic systems, and authentic Alpine vehicles, the pressure never stops. Fame grows, competition tightens, and storms loom closer with every passing day. Whether you thrive under pressure or switch to Creative Mode to build without limits, Above The Snow invites you to build, manage, and thrive in the coldest winter of your life.
