FLAKE The Legend of Snowblind is a game about Flake, a creature made of snow who ends up on a planet of eternal night and snow. That’s how the adventure begins.

Essentially this is a classic point & click game so you should be ready for LucasArts’ and some other references :)

As for the upsides: more or less classic point & click in-game controls (the modern one, not that SCUMM Engine-like), fully voiced characters and extremely low Lunar Logic™ level, I only found maybe a couple of examples of that during ~7 hours of gameplay. The storyline may not be overcomplicated, though it raises some questions and has some funny twists.

As for what could be improved, I’d add the ability to pause the game cause some of the dialogues can literally last for minutes, which was OK in the 90’s but today many devs try to avoid that. Also I saw someone writing about the inventory only showing 5 items at a time, and would agree that it may not be very convenient. But those are minor flaws and they don’t affect the game experience too much.

Overall, I would recommend the game to the slow-pace classic style point & click adventure games fans.

Wow, what a wonderful ride as a special (and rather cute) adventurer in this game! Flake has a lot of not easy tasks to fulfill in a beautifully drawn world of ice and fire. Not more - one has to experience !

We find a lot of features, we loved in classics, for example the word duels of Monkey Island. A well told story with a cute and clever hero ... don't miss this gem!

Highly recommended!

Decent adventure game that doesn’t hold your hand with modern features.

The story concerns a weird being who arrives on an island. It begins as an orb but transforms into a humanoid-like creature with hands and feet as soon as it touches the snow. It's not sure what it is, where it came from, or what's happening. It just knows that its name is Flake.

Because this is an adventure game, you will need a mouse to click on objects. Everything is done using the left mouse button, including walking, interacting, and using objects. Although the game lacks a magic button that reveals all possible hotspots on the screen, I don't think this is a major issue. When you move the mouse pointer over an intriguing place, it changes color and displays the name of the hotspot in bright yellow.

When you click on an object, you have a choice of two or three interactions. Almost each item has a »examine« and »use« option, but just a few allow you to talk with it. However, I believe gameplay would be more fluid if you could examine items with the right mouse button, which is not used at all. Now it feels like you're taking an extra step for the most basic interaction with each hotspot.

An item is used by clicking on it in your inventory, holding the button, and then dragging and dropping it onto a hotspot. Again, using the right mouse button might make things easier, as a left click on an inventory item just allows you to examine it.

If you're used to modern adventure games with quality-of-life elements, you won't find any here. Aside from the lack of hotspot reveal, there is no map for quick travel or even a double-click on the exit to swiftly transport you to the next area. This is a major issue due to continual backtracking and some strange logic. Old-school adventure games were notorious for having absurd situations, but this title has one that doesn't feel right.

I'm referring to the snowballs you can throw at various objects in the game. You never know what the outcome will be, so you need to keep tossing them at every hotspot. Unfortunately, you can only bring one snowball. Well, you can actually carry two, because you can also make one if you have snow.

What's the problem? Although there is snow all around, you can only collect snow or snowballs from a certain hotspots. Worse, snowballs do not always hit. You will miss the first time and believe this is not the correct solution, but then you will try again and succeed. Fortunately, this is a rare occurrence of a terrible puzzle, as the rest make sense and does not rely on unusual combinations.

Characters have voices, but they sound very identical, as if they were recorded with only a few voice performers. They also do not show much emotion as the entire text is read in a monotonous voice. However, all this is understandable because the entire game was done by only one person. That’s why voices come from family members and friends.

The game is of decent length despite backtracking. There are also a few missable achievements, but that can be prevented if you save often. Sadly, the game ends on a cliffhanger and doesn’t have a proper ending. Also, the game lets you observe interesting points on the island right at the beginning. However, you never get to visit them and you’re stuck the entire game on a mountain.

I am genuinely hopeful this story will continue. This was an absolutely wonderful game. The graphics were great, I loved this soft voices. I hardly ever notice the voice work, but this was top notch. The play-through was mostly intuitive. I really can't rank this any higher.

.What a great point and click adventure game hidden gem !
So glad adventure game geek did an interview with this games creator ,so much creativity and passion he made a paper mache 3d model of his game world ,in addition too sculptures and drawings.I might not of heard of it otherwise., the art,animation,puzzles are all great.the world building so unique.Its so sweet and funny and has full voice acting and nice music. I'm looking forward to seeing more in the future.

This game stole my heart :D I found out about Flake from the developer, and initially thought it was going to be a cutesy adventure aimed more for kids. After playing it however I can say that it's much more than a kids game, and in fact the story and characters had much more depth than I expected. We play as Flake, a strange white creature who emerges from a crystal and doesn't know where we came from. We also don't know what we're made from exactly, and depending on our actions Flake gradually changes either into water or ice. There's a fantastic cast of characters to meet along the way, and plenty of puzzles to solve that feel organic to the environment, which is suitably snowy for the most part until we find our way to other times and places...But no spoilers here, go play this game and discover the Legend of Snowblind for yourself, it's a charming game that captures the spirit of classic point n click adventures!

I am really enjoying this one...very cute point and clicker.
Didn't finish it yet...but I wanted to share my impressions as soon as possible.

Graphic is nice and colorful, I love the hand drawn adventures.
Characters are interesting and very well voiced...not annoying as sometimes.
Calm and snowy atmosphere...feels really like playing an oldie point and clicker.
It seem that it has really broad story and integrate details...promising much more to come.

Seems that most of the work was done by just one person...I find this fascinating.

Highly recommended. A rare gem.

Flake The Legend of Snowblind was too relaxing for me musically which is not a bad thing its just that plus the monotone voiceovers were making me sleepy and bored of the game BUT i would say its 9/10 point and click bonus points for the Stan the Salesman reference

What a fun little rabbit hole to go down!

Classic point and click adventure
