I felt drawn to Above the Snow from the moment I saw the first screenshots and trailers: running a mountain shelter in a picturesque setting, with an engaging story, interesting characters I'd like to learn more about, absolutely stunning art, and a catchy soundtrack?

15 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
I personally don't like ultra-realistic graphics, I much prefer stylized art, so this was exactly up my alley.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is solid - it sells the characters and makes you actually care about them.
