What Demon's Winter is

Demon's Winter is an adventure game developed by SSI (Strategic Simulations, Inc.) and released in 1988. It is available on Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST/STE, Commodore C64/128/MAX and DOS.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The evil sorceress Siriadne was slain, the Shard of Spring was recovered, and peace and prosperity returned to the fantasy island of Ymros. Two centuries later, however, great numbers of aggressive monsters have suddenly appeared, devastating the region and its inhabitants. A party of five adventurers must band together in order to combat this threat, starting only with meager skills and supplies after a kobold attack on the now-ruined village of Ildryn. Ultimately, they must uncover the source of the beasts, as well as the unnatural cold that plagues the land, and ultimately put an end to both.
