Overview
Description

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.

Set in 2011 New York, Yesterday follows Henry White, a wealthy heir, and his friend Cooper as they investigate a series of homeless disappearances and a strange Y‑shaped scar. Their search leads them to the enigmatic John Yesterday, a man with a wiped‑clean memory, thrust into a web of intrigue and danger. The game blends point‑and‑click puzzles with role‑playing choices, delivering a gritty, atmospheric experience that challenges players to uncover the truth while navigating shady characters and perilous environments.
