Story
You won a wellness holiday is the ice caves of the alps. Sounds great? It was, until the evil snowman zombies took over the whole resort (after all, the glacier is their realm, so why not?).
You were captured in your ice-suite after having a shower, but fortunately they let you have your turbo hair-dryer (as useful for snowmen as a flamethrower for human). This is your only chance! Use your hair dryer as a weapon and try to overcome the guards and security measures of the snowmen to fight your way out of the ice-labyrinth.
Walkthrough
You start in your ice-suite with your hairdryer. The entrance is blocked by icicles. Melt the icicles with the hair dryer. But be careful, in the hall a few guards are waiting. As long as you dry them, they cannot harm you, but don't let another one sneak up from behind.
Go into the bright room with the square block in the middle. Two ways are leading from here. Take the bright one first. You come to a crossing, where one road is blocked by an icicle you cannot melt. Go into the other direction and you find a snowman statue. Don't be afraid, it cannot harm you.
If your run into it, it colors red and when you return you see that the icicle is now gone. Advance through the following hallways (use your automap if you get lost->the red dot is you) until you come into the big hall with four columns.
Two guards are hiding here, so don't get caught in a corner. After that you come into a ceiling lit hallway with one guard. Then into a dark tunnel with flashy lights on the walls. There the way is blocked again by an icicle, cooled to extreme durability by the cooling pipes above. So you have to find the cooling control.
This is in the second (the dark) exit of the room with the square block at the beginning. Go along the tunnel (suddenly the ice is gone and don't miss the small bright room on the left (guard). Here is a Terminal with the message "stay cool" on it. Work on it with your hairdryer until it breaks (if you ran back to the icicle now you would see that its still there so there must be more).
If you follow the tunnel with the mossy walls farther, you come to another cooling room (with another guard). Destroy the cooling machine here and finally your way to the warm overworld is free.
