Description

About the Game



ICEY is a 2D side-scrolling action game. As you follow the narrator's omnipresent voice, you will see through ICEY's eyes and learn the truth about her world.

“Alright, you caught me! This ISN'T really just a simple 2D action game, and you WON'T be seeing through ICEY's eyes... NOR will you learn the truth about her world." says the narrator.

“ICEY is a Meta game in disguise. The narrator will constantly urge you in one direction, but you must ask, "Why? Why am I following his directions? Why can't I learn the truth about this world and ICEY's purpose here?" Fight against his tyranny, and uncover what's really going on for yourself!

In fact, you can become ICEY, and let loose the shackles of your own identity. You are ICEY, and ICEY is you... if you want it that way. Feel free to keep hold of your own self, if you wish.

Now Is the Time For You to Discover the Truth.

You See? ICEY, I See!

I bought this a long time ago because I really loved the concept and aesthetics, but I dropped it early on since it wasn’t very keyboard-friendly. After I finally got a controller and finish everything this game has to

This game was awesome; I had so much fun. It's one of those games that, when you finish it, you want to know more, and it stays with you because it's so good. I hope they release a sequel or a remake someday. Its unique

ICEY is a stylish side-scrolling action game that initially appears to be a straightforward cyberpunk hack-and-slash adventure but gradually reveals itself as something much stranger and more creative. Beneath the fast

Bought it for the basically free steam link. Starting with the good, the background art is really, really nice and the world is intriguing at first. I played on normal, and I'd say I'm okay at spectacle fighters. combat
