About the game

Making decisions has never been harder. Guide Jovanna through a psychological horror adventure in a freezing New York City. Navigate unstable characters, uncover the truth behind the unnatural weather, and struggle to make choices as her emotions fight your every move.

Original Steam description

Making decisions has never been harder.

New York is freezing, the dead rise around you, and something is odd about the space between your decisions and Jovanna’s actions.

Will you learn to decide as one or perish together as fools?

Explore making decisions are made under stress, pressure, uncertainty, and missing information.

But the twist is Jovanna's cursor has a mind of its own and she gets final say!

This turns each choice into a cooperation of two individuals. Creating tension between what you want to do and what Jovanna is willing... or even able to do.

Her emotions fight your decisions

Every stress directly affects Jovanna's cursor in real time. Decision-making becomes an expression of her current state. Her movement may become slower, less accurate, more erratic, or completely independent depending on what she is experiencing in the game.

Knowing what to do is only the beginning. Options will move around the screen, competing cursors interfere, and unexpected obstacles put you under more pressure to act.

Catch your breath. Make your move.

Players are not left helpless against the dangers.

The Survival Kit is a multi-functioning tool wheel that you can access to help manage the challenges you face. Gain more control while guiding Jovanna through difficult decisions.

When the pressure builds, turn to Jovanna’s Survival Kit.

The Deep Breath Ability will slow down time and temporarily relieve Jovanna of stress effects.

Explore A Nueva York

Experience New York through the eyes of Jovanna Peña, gaming's first female Dominican protagonist in a city shaped by the cultures that call it home. Meet New Yorkers from diverse backgrounds, discover neighborhood flavors, and even choose to eat vegan, all brought to life through bold, manga-inspired art, and an original musical score that blends Latin rhythms with psychological horror.

Explore its streets, examine your surroundings, and encounter the people caught in the same unfolding nightmare.

Beyond each conversation lies a larger mystery. What is happening to the city, and what will it take to survive the cold?
