Winter Break is a deceivingly cute survival game where you play as a child trying to keep their snowman alive during winter. You'll have to shovel away the snow and sing to your snowman friend to keep them happy and healthy while the snowstorms come and go. Survive until Christmas to see how the story ends.
On the outside, the game is cute and fun but when you take a deeper look the true story comes through. This short survival game was made with the idea of divorce and childhood trauma in mind. Its meant to showcase a young child trying to cope with fighting parents by protecting his snowman friend from danger. Throughout the game is you go too close to the house you hear noises of the parents fighting. The final clue is that there is no good ending in the game. Even if you win, the final scene shows that the parents divorced with a fallen picture and an empty yard.
