While not entirely new, novel-themed video games are now slowly gaining popularity. One recent title we've covered is Chunsoft's Anato wo Yurusanai. This time, we'd like to introduce you to Snow Portable from Japan-based development studio Prototype. It is currently available there for 5,040 Yen or roughly around US$ 43.25.

Snow Portable first appeared on the PC platform back in 2003. It was then ported on Sega Dreamcast and the PS2. It features more than 600 different stills with animations and effects. The story pushes forward with the help of a conversation system that allows players freedom to select their characters' actions.

To help you get more familiar with Snow Portable, here's the opening cut scene for the title. It shows off some of the characters as well as the plot of the game. Since it's in Japanese, let us help you with that last one: it tells the story of the dragon goddess who fell in love with a human which is utterly forbidden.
