Game
SleepInTheSnow's Place
SleepInTheSnow's place, like most other concinnity() games, is pretty abstract. There is not much informaton related to the game that relates to the group, outside of the themes of imprisonment, that relate to SleepInTheSnow's role in the group. The gameplay elements are mostly just the tools the player can pick up throughout the game. The game's building utilizes a simple voxel style.

The player spawns inside a house, it is partially destroyed, with many of the windows broken, snow covering the entirety of the house and blocking the door. The narration states "You wake up, but something is wrong", then reads "You can feel the coldness inside, everything is covered in snow" and "You can't open the door, since its covered in snow". After the narration ends, a shovel will spawn near the bed, below a pile of snow, picking it up will put it in the player's inventory, which can then be used to take off the layer of snow covering the door.
The door, despite being uncovered, will not open at this moment. The player can, firstly, check below the drawer for some text, this does not help with progression, but offers a bit of insight into the character's current situation. The text reads: "Escaping is impossible, please help me". In order to progress, the player must access the basement near the armchair, they must fit through the hole and enter the basement, removing the snow from the basement door covering their way. Once inside the basement, the player will find broken chains, chairs, a small bench, shelves containing books and a metal shelf containing a tool similar to the shovel. Going near and touching one of the chains will give you a key, which can be used to finally open the door.
Reaching the outside, the player discovers can either go forward, immediately falling and starting the final cutscene of the game, or explore the outside a little more, they can find a few things while looking through the outside, most notably, three ghostly[3] looking figures, resembling the player's avatar. The player can also find two pieces of text alongside some of the trees, the texts read as follows: "Inside a circle", and "Punishment, murder of triple".
Finally, by going forward from the house's door, the snow below the player will collapse, making the player fall into a small pit, despite the height of the pit, there is no chance of escaping or trying to climb it. As the player falls, they will se a reflection of their own character, sleeping in the floor of the rocky crevice, the snow will slowly cover the player's avatar in the reflection, and the narration will read: "You made a huge mistake", "You are now trapped in your own mistake", "You can't do anything to fix it", "So you decide to", "Sleep in the snow". As the narration and the cutscene play, the player's screen will slowly fade to black, a contrast to the beggining of the game, where the screen slowly becomes visible.
Theories
- SleepInTheSnow is trapped in a death loop as a form of punishment
- Once the player finishes the game, the game forces the player to rejoin, and restart the game.
- As indicated by the text in one of the trees, the death loop may be the result of a crime (the murder of triple)[2]
- The three ghosts that can be found at the back of the house could be the victims of the murder of three
- The appearance of the player's character also resembles a ghost, similar to the three that can be seen in the back of the house
- Finally, the text "Inside a circle", and "Escaping is impossible, help me", that show the distress the character is going through[4]
- SleepInTheSnow is addicted to cocaine
- Cocaine can often cause hallucinations and violence, due to this, the murder of triple[2] could have been caused by a violent attack
- The three ghosts could also be the product of a cocaine induced hallucination.
- A common slang for cocaine is also "Snow", with the snow seen in game blocking off and destroying multiple parts of the House.
- The ending of the game could represent a cycle of never ending addiction to the drug, Which only results in the main character spiraling further down (which could be what the crevice at the end of the game represents).
Trivia
- The shovel tool respawns after a certain amount of time has passed, however, it disappears again if the player decides to touch it
- The player can trick the snow collapsing event that causes the end of the game, but not fall into the hole, freezing the game until the player falls through.
- Multiple myth databases follow SleepInTheSnow such as InterestingMyths and Myth_Catalog.
