Just finished the game, i got it on steam and let me tell you it was awesome, from start to end it was a beautiful and scaring experience, i hope you still developing this kind of games.
by the way, what programming language did you use?
Ah thanks man. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it. It took a lot of work and time. I am still developing obscure type games but I start 50 projects and only finish one. I’m working on a few things at the moment.
i hope to be able to enjoy more of your work, anyway i hope no to annoy you with the next question but you'll see, i'd like to start coding to make games but to be honest i don't really know where should i start, what should i learn and how to make it work, do you think you could give some advice?
Fantastic short horror game! I adored the sense of unease and helplessness you have as you play leading up the inevitable ending (at least the first ending). Please keep it up! I also (like many others before me) did an LP of this game fro my Youtube channel. Please feel free to check it out. Because spooks!
Wow! I can not believe this game has been live for so long and nobody has even noticed that bug at the start where you walked through the wall. Unbelievable! I'll have to get round to filling that hole. As for the mouse cursor, it's really annoying. I will put a patch out for that to hide it automatically when you close the menu; however if you had just clicked anywhere on the screen it would've hidden; but you weren't to know that.
Thanks for taking the time to play my game. I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the best.
Thanks Will. I really enjoyed your video. First Winter is now finished, so that isn't get touched anymore, aside from little bug fixes if I spot any new ones. I'm working on a new game now about zombies. You can check out the teaser for it here: https://danthai.itch.io/homage-to-the-dead
Hello, how are you ?, I went to tell you that it is a great job that you have done I liked it a lot and I certainly admire your work, I wonder if maybe you could tell me with what engine the game is developed ... Thank you!
Great game. I like the pixelated graphics and ambiance is very tension building. The fact that you made a fantastic horror game without in your face jumpscares is great.
Great game i always love the pixel style games and this was no exception. The controls were great and the whole story was just creepy most of the jumpscares got me. I have never played a game like this. The only thing i didn't like was that i got a bit confused but apart from that i loved it great game.
Fantastic game. Never knowing what a simple turn around a corner or even a look to the side might bring. The sound and atmosphere make this game really something special. Top work... :)
This game was very well done and a unique story. The atmosphere, graphics, and sounds provided a amazing gaming and horror experience. Thank you so much for making this game! Looking forward to seeing what else you make in the future!
So I dove back into this game to try and find the 'good ending' and I think I found it! It definitely took some thinking out of the box. Or rather, out of the game. I honestly thought that you were just supporting another indie developer with this reference in your game so I thought I'd check the game out. You blew me away. This game is phenomenal and the extra work that you put into this to make the alternate ending this clever is just amazing. Thanks so much for making this. New favorite indie horror of the year, hands down.
This was definitely one of the best horror games that I've played this year. First Winter was awesome in so many ways. The pixel art and 80's references were golden. I'm an absolute sucker for nostalgia and this had nostalgia written all over it. You're a master at creating an atmosphere. The ambiance was ridiculously horrifying and had the perfect mix of many different fears, one being claustophobia in many cases. I LOVE that you referenced Pacific, as it was my favorite game of yours and I remember saying "it's too short" at one point. I only got one of the endings, but the entire experience was so surreal that I'm definitely diving back into this on my own time. As my friend PhuCat said, this game is a perfect mix of all our favorite horror elements. Thanks so much for making it, and HUGE thanks for the early access code!
I absolutely loved this game! the best game created by Dan yet! everything was perfect and so much work and effort has been put into this! really awesome job on creating this mate!
This game was creepy af!! I loved the 80s and cold war vibes, as well as the pixelated graphics. There's more than one ending apparently and I can't wait to see what the other ones are. Watch my gameplay video if you want to check it out!

I’m using C# for all my game work.
Thanks again.

Really appreciate the comments and thanks for sticking your neck out and purchasing First Winter. I'll be sure to check out video later today!

Hi David. Thanks for your question. I used Unity for this project and made use of a few shaders to acheive the effect.
I’m glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video Mr Toast. You've supported all my games and I truly appreciate it.
this was a great game and the concept was unique and interesting. I really appreciated the style and the tone of the game!
Hey man, thanks for the rad video! Glad you enjoyed it.
This game really disturbed me with its atmosphere and sound design, loved it a lot! Looking forward to more games :)
Does anyone know who did music? There's no one credited.
Great game. I like the pixelated graphics and ambiance is very tension building. The fact that you made a fantastic horror game without in your face jumpscares is great.
Hey thanks man. Enjoyed that video. Look forward to part 2.
Je déteste les silhouettes sous un drap. J’ai quand même adoré le jeu!
Merci pour la vidéo et pour avoir joué à mon jeu.
Great game i always love the pixel style games and this was no exception. The controls were great and the whole story was just creepy most of the jumpscares got me. I have never played a game like this. The only thing i didn't like was that i got a bit confused but apart from that i loved it great game.
Thanks for playing bluebeargaming. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the video.
HIGHLY recommend this game, it actually gave me the creeps all the way through!
Thanks for the kind words.
Great game!
Yay, glad you liked it!
Thanks SkapeGote. Love that thumbnail! Hammer and Sickle and a Goat really do work well together :)
oh yea! it's super amazing i loved the suicide part at the end
Wooo!
Great game! I like how crazy everything is in this and one of the few that gives me some jumpscare! Nice Job!!
I think that the text dimension scales with the resolution of the monitor you play with and on 1440p it was a bit small.very cool. loved pacific and loved this. Nice and creepy.
i bought it but im too scared to open it :o
Fantastic game. Never knowing what a simple turn around a corner or even a look to the side might bring. The sound and atmosphere make this game really something special. Top work... :)
Thanks for the video. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Interesting little game!
I gave the game a go on my channel, ArthurPlays:

Thanks for the free Key Dan!
Loved it dude. Got some good scares outta you too. Cheers for playing. Great thumbnail by the way.
A nice fleshed out version of Pacific with some really nice details here and there.
It's very Good Game! I Played Fun!
Thanks for the video!! Glad you enjoyed the game.
Absolutely loved this game, well worth the money and a true gem. Thanks for the great playthrough Sir. My hats off to you!
