The Snow Queen
Platform: Commodore 64
In a frozen kingdom of magic and mystery, a brave player must outwit the cunning Snow Queen and restore warmth to the land—before eternal winter claims it forever.
The Snow Queen is an interactive fiction video game developed by St. Bride's School and published by Mosaic Publishing in 1985. It was released for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum platforms. The game is based on the classic 1844 fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. As a text-based adventure, it immerses players in a narrative-driven experience inspired by the original story, challenging them to navigate its world through descriptive text and input commands.
