• Devlog #1 - 14 December 2024

  Mine for ore, trace your memories, and mine again. When you reach the Snow Crystal at the lowest level, the long winter will come to the end. This gentle and quiet mining visual novel offers a small sense of accomplishment, perfect for sleepless nights. Japanese indie developer Hinuko Shima (Shirokurohitsuji) has officially started development on Thaw. Unlike the previous unsettling title, Rainbow Sea, Thaw offers a story filled with warmth amidst the cold, quietness, and kindness. By mining, you can acquire ores, which can then be given to crows. This allows you to reflect on the events that led you to the mine and gather tools to make mining more efficient.
