  • Twofold releasing later this month! - 2 October 2023

    Hi everyone! Elanfest '23 was streamed live today, and with it came a wealth of Twofold news and information! For those who aren't aware, First Snow is a prequel side story to Twofold, featuring a few of the same characters. First off, here's the latest trailer for Twofold: 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. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1749770/…

  • First Snow Patch 1.01 release - 21 October 2020

    Hi everyone! we're pushing out an update for First Snow now that should cover a good amount of issues reported in the past few months. Keep in mind your saves will likely break once you download the update. 1.0.1 Patch notes ----------------- - Corrected several typos and grammatical issues (thanks everyone who reported them!) - Added guest art piece from AcoTan that was missing in the initial release - Corrected credits and social media links in the guest art gallery - Touched up the modelling CG - Touched up blurred sprites that became too spooky on several occasions - Fixed the text bar disappearing on several occasions - Fixed duplicate entries appearing in the text log - Fixed crashes caused by the pre-splash logo - Made the hidden achievement alternatively unlockable by creating a file called `secret-unlock.txt` in the `game` folder - Added detection and warning for broken save ga…

  • Hotfix released, potential savegame issues - 25 August 2020

    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!

Short 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.

About this game

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! A totally original soundtrack! An engaging girls'…

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

First Snow's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

First Snow's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records First Snow at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
