Wandering Wizard alongside developer Above The Desk are proud to have launched their tycoon game about alpine adventurers Above The Snow today on Steam for $24.99, with a 10% discount during its first week on sale, making it $22.49. Above The Snow’s unique gameplay blends Frostpunk inspired mechanics with character-driven storytelling and base-building elements reminiscent of Stardew Valley.
Above the Desk and Wandering Wizard are also offering an exclusive “Alpine Bundle” of Above The Snow on sale this week for $22.93, which includes the base game plus the “Alpine Edition” – a digital art book, the game’s original soundtrack, and a printable 3D file of Brutus the Saint Bernard, the lodge’s loveable mascot. Players can also purchase the Alpine Edition as a standalone content download for $2.99.
Above The Snow is a cozy, story-driven tycoon set in the ruthless beauty of the 1960s Alps. Build and customize your dream mountain lodge in striking Mid-Century Modern style, then step outside and take control of the mountain itself. Plan dangerous trails, manage gear, read shifting weather, and rescue stranded alpinists while catering to a diverse cast of guests, each with their own demands, personalities, and breaking points. Every choice shapes your crew, your reputation, and who makes it off the mountain. With 20+ hours of narrative, dynamic systems, and authentic Alpine vehicles, the pressure never stops. Fame grows, competition tightens, and storms loom closer with every passing day. Whether you thrive under pressure or switch to Creative Mode to build without limits, Above The Snow invites you to build, manage, and thrive in the coldest winter of your life.
Above The Snow offers a true to life portrayal of alpine living, utilizing partnerships from stylish outerwear label Cortazu, Scandinavian furniture manufacturer Fjordfiesta, and classic American modern furniture brand Heywood-Wakefield. Above The Desk have also created Achievements for unlocking authentic Heywood-Wakefield furniture, which can be bought in real life!
“We want Above The Snow to simultaneously provide a relaxing escape from real life, while also offering an authentic look at alpine living, by creating an aspirational tycoon simulator that lets you create the resort of your dreams,” said Michał Wasiak, Founder and Studio Director at Above The Desk. “We look forward to seeing the creative resorts our players come up with!”
