"Caverns of the Snow Witch is a classic gamebook, and this digital version reinvigorates it for a digital generation. It's fast, it's fun, and its story of icy tundra and giant dragons is worth sticking with until the end."

"...it's a very solid gamebook, and if you've enjoyed any of Tin Man's other conversions of Livingstone's work, it's a journey worth embarking on."

"Fans of the original will also appreciate that they can switch the visuals to a 1980s style gamebook appearance, away from the more stylish modern looks that Tin Man Games offers. It ensures that Fighting Fantasy: Caverns of the Snow Witch really is the best of both worlds. It’s nostalgic yet offers features that we all wished we had back in the day, like fast dice. That’s a great combination that easily continues Tin Man Games’s reign as a fine purveyor of classic adventure game books."

All ages can enjoy these. Unlike the twitch and react of real-time video games, the player gets an actually good book with an easy to use tabletop experience for the single player. Precious few games I would call an investment. This one is.
I love the Fighting Fantasy books, but this is one of the weaker novels. It's too reliant on you taking the right path and is difficult. Island of the Lizard King and Forest of Doom are definitely better downloads if you haven't played them already.
I am lose for words with these GA'S. Please buy each one and support this so Tin Man can take it to the Max Each time. If you have an imagination, like the fact that Luck plays a big part of how each session goes. Them you will fall in love with these Gamebook Adventures.....Promise!!!
OMFG. Childhood memories. Great adaptaion. Original and new look as an addition. Can't talk now, have to go to the fantasy world!
I seem to have an issue pressing the Continue button. Nothing happens so I have to hit the back button to return to the main menu and then reload. It's really annoying. Galaxy Note 4.
Oh what a return to form! Thank you tinman for bringing one of the classic ff books back to life! The music, the feel, being able to change the look to a more retro feel and see both the original and new artwork...it's so well thought out. I love these fantasy books, and seeing them being treated so well and the original artwork being retained is heart warming, well done tinman!
Loved these as a kid! Please do city of thieves. I learned how to read properly with these books
I'm becoming as addicted to these now as I was as a kid. Lovely production and good game mechanics. Keep making more and I will buy them instantly!
Loved these books when I was younger, so happy to see them making a bit of a revival!
Remember these?? They are as awesome now as they were 20 years ago. I find I'm able to remember my button path and quick travel thru the game but different modes and reading the actual pages gives the FF series a long life of its own. Get this and get the others!!!
Wonderful game. Very surprising and long storyline. Highly recommended.
Really short, but otherwise pretty good.
Like when I was a kid
A classic read and top notch adventure, cant wait to get more FF books from Tin Man. I'm itching for my next adventures. Keep em coming guys!
Love it, looking forward to future releases. Thanks for another great game!
Well great book why have you changed writing to small to see house of hell was big enough to read starship traveller too small text caverns fails that way reading the text is too small to read and needs zoom or something bigger text would be bettr
You've given me a wonderful way to revisit my childhood. I love the look and feel of the user interface - especially the ability to switch between modern and retro artwork. I would have liked to see an auto - mapping function (like in Forest of Doom), but I appreciate that some nostalgic readers prefer making their own maps. Again, thanks so much!
