Icey is currently available for PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store and PC via Steam.
Hereās an overview of the game, via PlayStation.com:
Icey is a 2D side-scrolling ACT and a META game in disguise. As you follow the narratorās omnipresent voice, you will see through Iceyās eyes and learn the truth about her world. The narrator will constantly urge you in one direction, but you must ask, āWhy? Why am I following his directions?ā
You Decide What the Real Story is in Icey
As you follow the narratorās omnipresent voice, you will see through Iceyās eyes and learn the truth about her world.
āAll right, you caught me! This ISNāT really just a simple 2D action game, and you WONāT be seeing through Iceyās eyesā¦NOR will you learn the truth about her world,ā says the narrator.
Icey is a meta game in disguise. The narrator will constantly urge you in one direction, but you must ask, āWhy? Why am I following his directions? Why canāt I learn the truth about this world and Iceyās purpose here?ā Fight against his tyranny, and uncover whatās really going on for yourself!
On the surface, players take on the role of a young girl with no memory, with only the voice of an omnipotent narrator to guide them through Ultimopolis on their quest to find Judas, a dangerous and powerful enemy. Look deeper, however, and players are actually acting as themselves. Should they resist the narratorās instructions and instead help Icey discover her own self-awareness? You will play as āIceyāā¦and you will not play as āIcey.ā
There are plenty of combo attacks to tie together during battle in Icey. Once enemies are sufficiently weakened, youāll be able to dispatch them quickly in a flurry of slashes. Absorb energy released from kill shots to then release a massive attack that damages all enemies within view.
