Of Frost and Flowers

actually super cute game! love love<3

The writing is awesome. It's got the perfect length. Each love interest is SO likeable I almost can't decide on a favorite. All endings were so well written that they deserve a sigh of 'man, this is so heartwarmingly wholesome'. Bit of a shame that some side characters get a sprite only to be seen in one scene. I'd love to hear more about that man in black, but alas. Other than that I got no complaints! The 100% experience is so fulfilling~

Just here to say am I the only one that was caught off guard by Keshir? Like hello???? Anyways though... I did Kisha's route and I enjoyed it and am going through Sol's. I do quite like both of them and this game is relatively simple but fun enough to keep me going. Like another review said, a pretty good game to spend some time if you're bored, which I have been for free VN's (since I'm poor, crazy in this economy I know). Honestly, if there was more of this game in any way, as long as it wasn't rushed I'd be pretty excited to check it out. TLDR; Pretty good if you're looking for another VN to play that's free :)

simple game tbh! good for passing some time. i wish the secret route was romanceable somehow

Of Frost and Flowers is a beautifully poetic otome game that blends romance with themes of healing, growth, and acceptance. The writing is heartfelt and emotional, with a tone that feels both gentle and bittersweet, making it easy to get immersed in the story. Each love interest has distinct depth and personality, and their relationships evolve naturally, with meaningful dialogue and emotional payoff. The art style is soft and elegant, perfectly matching the game’s atmospheric tone, while the soundtrack enhances the emotional weight of key scenes. The pacing is generally well done, though it can feel a bit slow at times, especially in the early chapters. Some choices also feel more cosmetic than impactful, which slightly limits replayability. Despite these minor flaws, Of Frost and Flowers is a touching, introspective experience that lingers in your heart even after the credits roll — a story about love blooming even in the coldest of places. ❄️🌸

Reading this as part of the Fall in Love VN Festival 2025. ✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (28/09/2025). 'A' button to advance text and touchscreen for menu and choices. Good music and interesting setting, it'd love to see it explored more in depth someday, either through a continuation or another project in the same universe. The character sprites look great and give the cast a lot of personality, but the CGs don't reach that same level. Considering this is a game done on a small budget most likely, it's understandable though.
