OMGGGG, This game is the best and The jump scares had me screaming every two minutes. 100 / 10. Also, the transition were amazing they worked together so well.
What an awesome, crazy experience. I loved it. Everything was put together great from pacing, jump scares, puzzles, map layout and story. Bravo man. Excellent job.
This was such a cool cool game! I cannot wait to play your other ones. I am hoping to go back and see about the other endings. It was very fun and very scary. The atmosphere was perfect. The story was different!! :)
What a ride! This was a masterclass in suspense, with a tense atmosphere all around. It's rare that a game can both make me jump AND give me literal chills, but First Winter managed to do just that. Thanks for making this!
This game is really great! I actually bought it on Steam a few months back and I noticed it's no longer available for purchase. Any particular reason why? Just curious.
I got to say that it was one of the best indie horror experiences I've ever had! Pure genius! Thank you for the game! Here's my little playthrough (Polish language) Cheers!
Thanks for playing! I enjoyed your video. All I understood was "Jesus fucking christ" but I get the gist :) Next game will have Polish translations too!
I'm am so happy that I stumble into this game, this is such a good short game with an engaging short story that is a "What if" in our real life history. I just realise there were two endings, but from what I can see, the ending I got below worked well and is on point.
I wasn't going to plug this into the Itch comments, but the 3 Scary Games guy below me forced my hand. First Winter deserves it's own video.
Dan, this game was absolutely amazing. I'll be having a go at Pacific very soon, since I saw you mentioned a while ago that it was the prequel. I'll keep an eye out for more of your games!
This game is very jacobs ladder where it weirdly changes all the time. There is a problem I had with the game because I wanted to go back and get the second ending but because I accidently clicked start a new game it erased the old game and wanted me to play all the way threw it again which wasn't worth it to me so I ended up just having to watch the second ending on youtube. I think you might want to fix this if possible because I was sad and wanted to do it myself in the game.
Also the puzzle at the very end where you rise the water to get the bottle to get the code to get the axe and then you need to lower it again to chop off the arm of a dead person to get to the control room was really cryptic and I after a long while of searching for clues of what to do with the axe ended up having to look it up on youtube as well because I would have never thought that once you use the wheel to raise the water level that you need to turn it again. Maybe it is just me but in most games I have played once you use like the wheel once your not going to need it again. Also there was really no way of figuring this out on your own except stumbliming on it by mistake.
Over all I really loved the game and the trippiness of it. It was a fun and longer then normal indie horror game so thank you for allowing me the oppurtunity to play your game.
the only thing that scared me the most is the chairs. IT STILL DOES AFTER PLAYING IT 3 TIMES NOW! i always think it's gonna be ghosts but then it's chairs.
hi again...deeply enjoying your games one at a time. i caught up with this one and had my breath taken away to the point of exhaustion. so thanks for the scares!

MADE A THREE RANDOM HORROR GAME VIDEO!! THIS GAME WAS KINDA SCARY TO PLAY NGL BUT STILL COOL TO PLAY
Holy crap. I was not expecting this.
I was playing this game and got so many times spooked. If your curious then you can check my video.
Thanks Nakarama. I checked out your video, was great fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing,
Thank you and thank you as well for making it.
I have no words to describe this wonderful game. Thanks for the experience, i really enjoyed playing this. Good job :)
I have no words to describe the happy feeling this message gave me.
ESP: En general me encantó, quiero volver a jugarlo para ver si puedo conseguir la clave del final, gracias por los sustos xD
ENG: Overall I loved it, I want to play it again to see if I can get the key from the end, thanks for the scares xD
thanks for the video buddy! Glad you liked it.

Jacobs ladder is one of my favourite films! Thanks for giving it a shot!
-Made a Video. (Old Video)
This was very good! I likeeee it
the only thing that scared me the most is the chairs. IT STILL DOES AFTER PLAYING IT 3 TIMES NOW! i always think it's gonna be ghosts but then it's chairs.
5/5
Although it engages in some commen tropes, FIRST WINTER uses these to make a truly scary and orginal horror game with and even better story. Play it.
hi again...deeply enjoying your games one at a time. i caught up with this one and had my breath taken away to the point of exhaustion. so thanks for the scares!
Hi Which game engine did you use? and how is it called the art style that you used, that is like a 3D + Pixel art filter? thx what a good game you did
Would this game be possible to be ported to Mac?
