Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of private detective Jack Orlando in a gritty 1933 America where Prohibition has just ended. As the prime suspect in a murder case, you have 48 hours to clear your name and uncover the real killer across smoky saloons, dark alleys, and seedy brothels. The comic‑style adventure spans four episodes and over 200 scenes, packed with cunning characters, riddles, and tense confrontations. Solve puzzles, gather clues, and piece together the mystery before the clock runs out.

Set in the seedy underbelly of 1990s New York, you play as retired cop Jock LaMonte racing against time to rescue his ex‑girlfriend from a mob boss known only as Snow Man. The game blends a noir storyline with photorealistic 360° environments and FMV sequences, delivering a cinematic mystery experience. Snow Job is a first‑person point‑and‑click adventure where you explore fixed locations, manage an inventory, solve puzzles, converse with a cast of characters, and engage in mini‑game combat. Its three‑screen interface lets you navigate, view maps, and interact with the world in a uniquely immersive way.
