About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Mine for ore, retrace memories, mine again. The long winter will come to an end when you reach the Snow Crystal in the depths of the mine. A peaceful and cozy mining novel for a sense of fulfilment on sleepless nights.

A mining visual novel that delves deep into a snow-covered mine.

Upgrade your equipment by digging deeper and reflect on the events that brought you here in the first place.  Let this heartwarming journey fill you with flashes of accomplishment on those sleepless nights.

  • Mining Game x Visual Novel: The deeper you dig, the more of the story you'll uncover.

  • Cozy Mining: Progress at a pleasant pace by gradually upgrading your equipment, and enjoy the satisfying sound effects of collecting new ores.

  • A Brief Respite: Can be comfortably completed in about one hour. Soothe your mind with the game's mellow music and story.

The start of a long and brutally cold winter heralds a changing of monarchs.

The Winter Kingdom Isenvindar holds a succession ceremony in those years marked by unusually harsh winters.

Three siblings stand as potential successors this time: the eldest, a cheerful wanderer; the second, a stern swordsman; and the youngest, a wise and kind soul.

Who shall bring an end to this winter and claim the throne?
