Hi. It's Jaden from Snowfall. If you wishlisted It Was You, this is the first thing we've ever posted here, and it's overdue.
Where It Was You stands
It's still in development. Six years in, it's the biggest thing we've ever tried to build. Along the way we moved it to Unreal, which set us back but made the game better, and it's still where most of our long-term effort goes. We'll launch it. We don't have a date, and we'd rather tell you that than make one up.
What we've been doing in the meantime
We built a second, smaller game that we can ship this year, and shipping it is how we fund finishing It Was You. It's called Portentum. It's a deck-building auto battler starring cryptids. You collect a deck of monsters, roll and manipulate dice to fire off their abilities, and watch your team auto-battle round after round. Bigfoot, Nessie, Mothman, the Chupacabra, the Yeti, and a long list of others are all in there as cards you can build around. It's free to play, and it launches on Steam in Q4 2026.

We showed it for the first time at PAX West last week. Boss Rush Network named it their Game of the Show, sidequesting.com gave us their Team Choice Award, and it was not uncommon to see someone still at a station an hour after they sat down. The next chance to play is Steam Next Fest, October 19 to 26, with a free demo on the Steam page.

Three things that help us
If you'd like to see both games get made:
- Wishlist Portentum. Wishlists genuinely help a small studio like ours at launch.
- Follow Snowfall Games on Steam. That's the one place you'll hear about every game we make, It Was You included.
- Join the Discord. That's where the builds, the cryptids, and the occasional cursed test deck show up first.
Thanks for sticking around.
Jaden
