Twisted but believable.

Six Days of Snow is a Kinetic Novel where you play as Tanabe Eiji, a washed-up writer who is staying six days in an isolated inn in the mountains, in an attempt to escape his stressful and uneventful life in the city as well as to provide some space from his stagnant and failing marriage.

What started out as a few days of peace eventually devolves into chaos as Tanabe becomes deeply infatuated with a young girl named Reiko, who happens to be the strict and overprotective inn owner's mother.

The game explores this uneven and ultimately toxic relationship between the two: Tanabe makes Reiko his muse and inspiration, but can't deny his attraction towards her while Reiko realizes that Tanabe may be his ticket out of a miserable and depressing existence.

It's definitely not a happy story and it's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable while reading it at times, but it is something that could happen so I'll give it credit where credit's due. The writing's a bit hit and miss, and the music has a very calm and traditional Japanese feel to it which suits the setting, which has some really nice scenery.

Good effort for free.
