About This Game

A late-night bowl of instant noodles during overtime unexpectedly awakens a glowing Loki rune inside your cup—and the next moment, you're served a "Soul Reallocation Notice" along with a cold, unforgiving PIA debt contract.

When you open your eyes again, you've been exiled to the frozen northern frontier—a snowbound stronghold known as Frostmirror Gorge.

All that awaits you is a dilapidated apothecary, a faintly smoldering hearth, and the Ice Palace's territory tax bill arriving promptly every seven days.

In PaPaLab, there is no fixed linear script. Whether you diligently brew potions to pay off your debt, or walk the dangerous line between lucrative back-alley commissions and forbidden intimacy, the choice is entirely yours.

◆ Five-Slot Free Schedule & Survival Management Pressure

Each day is divided into five free time slots, letting you decide how to spend your limited daily stamina—immerse yourself in the alchemy workshop, open your shop to serve townsfolk, venture beyond the walls into perilous frostbitten ruins, or set aside time for a private rendezvous.

You can choose to "Close for the Day" anytime, but the countdown never stops. Recurring territory taxes and divine debts loom overhead, forcing you to weigh profit, stamina, and relationships with every decision.

◆ Two-Faced Alchemy: Public Reputation vs. Back-Alley Commissions

Gather native polar herbs and frost-forged minerals, and personally control the heat of your cauldron. Brew orthodox remedies for vitality, focus, and resistance to build your reputation—or dabble in dubious, forbidden formulas. Even the same high-tier "Moondew Reagent" can diverge into completely opposite "Softlight" or "Shadow" variants depending on your heat control.

The rewards offered at your front counter and by shadowy back-alley regulars are worlds apart—and every high-paying, off-the-books order subtly shifts your standing, alignment, and ultimate fate in Frostmirror Gorge.

◆ Five Snowbound Frontier Zones to Explore

For just 1 stamina per expedition, venture out solo or with a companion to five distinct northern hazards: the Abandoned Shack, Aurora Ruins, Dusk Trail, Glacier Rift, and Ancient Battlefield Ice Cavern.

Bring back rare alchemy materials and hidden world lore through random encounters, environmental choices, and clue-hunting to unlock secret recipes and character-specific events.

◆ Multiple Adult Heroines, Branching Endings & Dynamic Scenes

Forge deep bonds with distinct adult women in this isolated city of snow and storm:

• Aila: A gentle, scholarly herbalist hiding an obsession with forbidden pharmacology

• Skadi: The cold, domineering Lord of the Ice Palace bound by fate (featuring multiple starkly different finale routes)

• Thira: A tough-yet-tender garrison guard torn between duty and desire

• Astrid: A mysterious priestess who peers into starlight and divine oracles

• Hilda: A wild, forthright snowfield hunter who wears her heart on her sleeve by the hearth

• Valdis: A seasoned, frost-weathered traveler carrying secrets of her own

As affection and personal storylines deepen, unlock high-tension dialogue branches and pre-rendered 2D animated CG scenes—all freely replayable in a standalone Gallery and tracked through your Journal.

In extreme commissions and special story routes, experience high-freedom, multi-angle intimate scenes revealing every heroine's hidden side where desire and conviction collide.

◆ Full Steam Integration

Supports 24 Steam Achievements and 6 independent Steam Cloud save slots so you can back up and explore every branch and ending at any time.
