When There Is No More Snow is a HYPER LOW RES SUPER RETRO visual novel made in ZZT! It's a semi-autobiographical story about a bunch of 8th graders in rural Michigan in 1995.

Content warning: animal death, parental abuse, bullying, mild swearing

When you start the game, it will ask you for a game controller. Pick K for Keyboard! Then it will ask you for a video mode. Pick C for Color! Hit the Enter key to clear the license screen and then either hit P to play the game or W to bring up the Worlds menu, where you can hit the down arrow key to select NSBONUS. Then hit Enter and P for play and you can play the bonus world! You can also select NOSNOWNF, which is the same game but without any flashing. Good for photosensitive people and also if you are trying to use OpenZoo PSP or another one of those ZZT forks that crashes on certain flashing colored text.

Features:

*10 unique endings!

*A giant self-indulgent bonus features package with deleted scenes, sound test, and a travelogue!

*Teen angst!

*Saxophones!

*UFOs!
