Twofold is releasing this month! We have a couple dates we're aiming for, and will reveal a finalized day a week or two prior to release. We're also hoping to have an OST and artbook ready to go on release as well!
To make the wait a little easier, we're also launching a free demo, available right now! This demo goes over most of the introductory act of the game, and also includes a bonus scene exclusive to the demo that bridges the gap between the post-credits scene of First Snow and the start of Twofold, as told from Hayley's (Caprice and Millie's roommate) point of view.

Hi everyone! Today, we launched the store page for the sequel to First Snow, Twofold, which you can view here. The page contains numerous screenshots, a teaser trailer, a story summary, character bios and a lot more! If you like what you see, please consider adding it to your wishlist. Here's a quick rundown of Twofold's premise: Olives situation is dire. They're on the verge of being thrown out of college unless they can salvage their GPA, and their only chance rests on classes they know next to nothing about. Their lifeline: two club leaders who are more than willing to help them succeed. However, no solution is that easy. Olive soon finds themself in the middle of a conflict between these two friends that threatens to undo their long-standing love for each other. Twofold is a story about love, family, and connection. It celebrates family of all kinds, and explores the strength (and fragility) of bonds between people. Taking place roughly a year after First Snow, Olives position as an outsider to these established friend circles will be vital to fully understanding the situation threatening to undo this close-knit group. While Twofold stars a new protagonist, Allison, Eileen and the whole art club are still in the picture, alongside a bunch of other new faces. You'll even be able to pursue individual friendships and experience optional side paths focused around them! Whether you choose to catch up with Allison and Eileen in the art club, or introduce yourself to the interesting characters in the writing club, we're really confident that you'll find something to enjoy! While First Snow only released two years ago, Twofold has actually been in development for ten years now, and we're so excited for everyone to finally see the fruits of our labor soon when it arrives next year. We've taken as much feedback as we can to make it as good as it can be, and we really hope that comes through in the end! [previewyoutube=-Xuow1NBszs;full][/previewyoutube]

Hello everyone! We wanted to give a quick rundown on the upcoming update for First Snow. First, the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtS2U4fbB9A Before the end of the year, we'll be adding partial VO to First Snow with casting and directing from Studio Coattails! Here's the cast list:
- Allison: Elizabeth Quedenfeld
- Eileen: Kira Buckland
- Rose: Nola Klop
- Caprice: Lisa Reimold
- Millie: Jill Harris
- Hayley: Elissa Park

A small warning: this update will likely cause issues with your saves. In the event your save breaks, an icon should appear on that save slot to confirm it's broken. The only real solution will be starting a new game and quickly skipping back to where you were. We're extremely sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey everyone! We hope you've been enjoying reading Allison and Eileen's story! We just released a small hotfix which should fix some startup crash issues some people were encountering in rare circumstances. Unfortunately though, it may be the case that your savegame got confused with the update. This would show by the game suddenly returning to the title screen at the end of a scene: don't worry, it's not the end of the game! Sadly, the best thing we can suggest you to do in these cases is to start a new game and skip to the point you left off. You can fast-forward through the game to get back faster by holding the CTRL button! A future update will aim to provide a better fallback mechanism for these cases. Please enjoy First Snow, and feel free to let us know about any issues you encounter in the discussion forums!

🕹️ Partial Controller Support
- First Snow Engine - Linux [52.01 M]
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.
A freshman just out of high school, Allison is still adapting to life in college. Grades aren't a problem for her, but living away from home and family, surrounded by strangers, fills her with an unshakeable feeling of loneliness. Though she's a sweet girl who tries to be kind to everyone she meets, her quiet personality hasn't made it easy to find new friends. Nevertheless, things are beginning to change.
Eileen likes spending her time alone, so she doesn't care much about finding friends. Her cold and brusque demeanor makes sure that most aren't interested, anyway. Focusing instead on her pursuit of art, she's set up shop in an old, seldom-used art room in one corner of the campus to improve her painting skills. Hardly anyone enters her space but her, and she prefers it that way.
Loud, energetic and always excited, Caprice has quickly become recognized in the art department as a somewhat strange girl. This doesn't bother her any. She's never been the type to let others' opinions get her down. After sitting next to Allison in life science class, Caprice decided the two of them must be friends. Extrovert and introvert, the two get along surprisingly well.
- A charming papercraft style that persists through to all aspects of the game, from the character sprites to the custom UI!
- A comprehensive extras gallery, showcasing CGs as well as guest art from numerous talented artists!
