Developer KAFI has announced its new PC title, Snow Panic. This is an arcade-style skiing racing game supporting 8-player online matches, where players race downhill to be the first to reach the finish line. The development team describes its direction as "Steep meets Mario Kart."
Matches always maintain an 8-player competitive structure; if there aren't enough human players, the system fills the slots with bots. Unlike traditional skiing games that emphasize routes and technical tricks, Snow Panic focuses on collisions and interference as core gameplay mechanics. The courses feature bullets, rockets, airstrikes, landmines, aggressive wildlife, and explosive goats.
When hit, players may trigger ragdoll fall effects, which the developers hope will create shareable, unexpected moments. The game is expected to launch with six competitive mountains, with more tracks to be added in future updates. There are a total of 14 weapons and items.
The game allows players to customize their skier's hairstyle, outfit, and snowboard, and supports proximity voice chat for real-time communication during chases and interference. Snow Panic has not yet announced a specific release date or price. The PC version is currently in development and is now available to wishlist on Steam.
