Snowflake Night
Soothing is the best descriptor of a Tomatea game, and Snowflake Night fits right into that oeuvre with its serene backgrounds, lilting music, and gentle puzzles. Start up the game and let the overall experience wash away any mid-week frustrations as you navigate around the beautiful space and let the calming music flow as you skip lightly from one puzzle to the next in this captivating room escape.
A glowing cursor indicates hot-spots and frustration is kept to a minimum with Tomatea's unusual habit of not letting you even attempt to solve a puzzle until you've seen or found a hint for it. This habit of blocking puzzles keeps the game-playing flow linear making Snowflake Night a wonderful, relaxing treat.
Had a rough week at work or school? Stressed out waiting for the weekend? Take a deep breath, let it out, and experience the joy of Snowflake Night, a calming experience no matter what the reason.
