This title is a prequel to Snares Of Ruin and takes place two weeks before ace detective Hank Anderson and his trusty partner Gwen arrive in the city of Cromford to conduct their investigation into the strange occurrences. With this installment, you'll get to see how many of the events that transpired in the first title actually happened and from the point of view of three major characters in that game as well so this is a must have for anyone who has played Snares Of Ruin and of course loved it like I did. [h1]GAMEPLAY[/h1] This is indeed a roleplaying game yet the gameplay here differs slightly from the previous title. Whereas in Snares Of Ruin Hank gained experience for skill points that could then be distributed to Athletics, Charisma and Erudition, this title uses a mood based system which can affect how other characters react to you as well as how events unfold in ...

About This Game
A short, interactive point-and-click story with choices and a mood system, where your actions and words will increase or decrease your character's mood. The mood will affect some of the future dialogues, as well as the endings. Since the story is experienced from 3 alternating characters, when they interact with each other, the mood comes into play, and a low mood of one character can cause negative responses from them, in turn affecting the mood of the one they're talking to.
- A prequel to Snares of Ruin, taking place within the 2 weeks preceding it.
- An interactive point-and-click story, witnessed from 3 separate points of view.
- The Mood System - what you choose to say or do can affect your mood, which in turn can have an effect on some of the future events and the ending.
- A modern day urban fantasy setting.
It is recommended to play Snares of Ruin first, as some of the events in this game can be spoilers for the Snares of Ruin plot.

A nice prequel to Snares of Ruin, a really short game but it explains a lot, so, I guess everyone that played it should try this one as well. I dont meet any troubles, just when I received achievements I had some glitches in that zone after the notifications disapeared, so I had to press twice F4 to solve it...So I am waiting so much for part two and I hope to see a city more alive, I mean nobody is walking there besides the main character and it's looking pretty frustrating...Like I had stopped the time and only I can move...Thanks a lot and go on))
This is the kind of prequel you play after the original game. It's short, and it doesn't explain much of the setting, but it does a much better job than Snares 1 of fleshing out the supporting cast. Instead of playing as one investigator, the narrative swaps back and forth between the three ladies, making for a nice interwoven plot. Snares 0 cuts basically all of the game systems from Snares, but it's still kind of satisfying. Instead of tracking skills, 0 tracks mood, which changes based on optimistic or pessimistic dialogue, very short sidequests, gameplay choices, and story beats. I guess it's a little like changing the music that plays during a one-track trolley problem, but because the plot of Snares 1 is already set in stone, 0 limiting the effect you can have to strictly the tone of the story makes sense from a design perspective. The writing in 0 feels slightly less edited than in Snares 1, and there's a couple minor typos or spots where things feel stilted. However, the p...
A prequel to Snares of Ruin, showing the infection outbreak and other harrowing events over the course of 2 weeks leading up to Hank's and Gwen's arrival in the city. + Worth the low price + Story + Characters +/- A simple game
Prequel of Snares of Ruins the original, this installment helps you to get more easilly into many doors you were wondering what was behind in the first instalment and have a lighter ressource based and dating based story. It is somehow totally empowering for the girl power mood up there. Still point and click mostly with consequence of choice that also fluctuate the character's moods and for some tasks, it helps when the mood it way up to accomplish some other story bits. Strangely enough, while outside there is a lot of monster and zombies survival games, this one is around plot and intrigues. I like that refreshing aspect and some easter eggs. I have hower a con and I dunno if it will be fixed; I stopped playing each time I saw that circular arrow spinning thinking it meant something needed to finish loading instead of clicking or pressing Enter. Very few bugs, including one that isn't game breaking. Sometimes you really need to use the mouse to speak to someone behind a barri...
Nice prequel for Snares of Ruin (no Gwen, though, since it's before Hank and her arrive). It would improve easily IMO if the first days in the game you played as Mira's father at the laboratory.
