[edit] Gameplay

In Snow, the player takes on the roll of a drug kingpin who earns fame and fortune selling illegal goods across the United States. As an up and coming drug lord the player can order various characters to procure, smuggle and ultimately distribute “the goods”. The player can build structures like corrupt law firms and money-laundering nightclubs to compete for greater market share against rivals. The game plays out across most of the western hemisphere during the glory days of illegal drug smuggling from Mexico and Colombia. The player starts with a few pounds of pot in 1975, and by the time the game ends in 1985, the player will have built a vast cocaine trading empire that spans the entire U.S.

[edit] Features

  • The player can build infrastructure in US drug markets, at border entry points, and in Colombia and Mexico to increase the efficiency of operations.
  • Character based organization development challenges the player to put together the right team to go from small time operation to full fledged drug cartel.
  • Frequent rewards: new characters and new equipment reward the player throughout the game.
  • Non-linear interactive story unfolds as the player progresses through the game.
