Snowkissed Romance Debuts Free Demo and Kickstarter, Invites Players to Experience a Charming 90s-Inspired Otome Adventure

It’s winter break 1994-1995; you arrive in the enchanted ski town of Yukihari for your last winter break before college, expecting nothing more than a peaceful holiday at your aunt’s cozy resort. That is, until your older brother crashes with your childhood friends from years past! Old friendships, budding romance, and hidden emotions soon turn this simple getaway into a life-changing journey of self-discovery.

Fans of 90s shoujo manga and anime—think Sailor Moon, Marmalade Boy, and Cardcaptor Sakura—will find plenty of nostalgic charm in Snowkissed Romance, an otome game blending romance, time and stat management, and heartfelt storytelling. Developed by a passionate two-woman team, Snowkissed Romance is now live on Kickstarter, complete with a free demo on itch.io, where you can experience the first three days of the three-week vacation in Yukihari.

The demo is available on Steam and Itch. Plus, check out the Kickstarter Page to support the full release!
