Description

Having moved away from her friends and family to attend community college, Allison Merlo is a fresh student struggling with the day to day challenges of life.

Faced not only with living independently for the first time, but also having to get past her nerves to find new friends in an unfamiliar environment, she finds herself falling in with a group of eccentric writers and artists.

As she pushes through this new stage in her life, the art of the cold and enigmatic Eileen Turner takes her attention, setting her on a course she never expected.

First Snow is a prequel spinoff of the visual novel Twofold, focused on Allison and Eileen’s first months in community college in the leadup to Christmas, and the many varied people who surround them.

<report>The production values are pretty high, especially for a free VN, with paper cutout sprites in front of sketch-like backgrounds giving it a nice visual style. The story’s a short, sweet slice of life romance about 2 girls in college meeting, becoming friends and then lovers and working out their relationship and it was pretty well paced over the ~2.5 hour read time. Nothing monumental but it’s solid and well executed and it’s even got a short, sweet H-scene that’s actually pleasant to read for once.

<report>This is a lovely and touching yuri visual novel, eliciting some tears at the end. The CGs and BGs are mostly good but are at times a bit rough. One of the few free games I feel guilty that I couldn't pay for.

<report>This is a beautiful visual novel and certainly in the running for “Best Free VN,” it’s on par with stuff like Katawa Shoujo, which makes sense because the writer wrote for KS too.

The story is a very grounded, realistic take on romance that will resonate with you emotionally because of its realism. It will give you cozy warm feelings, while having just enough drama to keep things interesting.

The game is partially voiced. Obviously entirely voiced is better, but that’s pretty impossible for a free VN, and this made for a nice compromise. Characters are voiced when you first meet them, which means you get a feel for who they are and what they sound like, and you’ll hear their voices in your head the rest of the way. The characters also tend to be voiced during the most important scenes.
