Snow Job

About

Snow Job casts you as Jock LaMonte, a retired cop dragged back into chaos when his ex falls afoul of a mob boss called Snow Man. This first-person point-and-click adventure lets you spin 360 degrees in photorealistic environments, solving puzzles, chatting with NPCs, and battling through mini-games to clear New York’s underbelly. Exploration happens in fixed spots with directional menus, while inventory management and a dynamic map track progress. The story weaves murder, corruption, and personal stakes into a gritty crime thriller. Released in late 1995 on the 3DO platform, Snow Job leveraged FMV and 3D graphics to push technical boundaries for its time. Its adult themes and serialized narrative structure drew attention in the adventure game scene, though its 3DO exclusivity limited reach. Community archives note its ambitious blend of detective work and action set pieces, with some fans praising its noir atmosphere despite dated controls. A relic of early 90s interactive drama, it remains a curiosity for retro gaming collectors.
