About ICEY

✦ AI summary

ICEY is a stylish 2D side-scrolling action game where you master fast-paced combat and devastating combos against massive cyborg bosses. But it's really a mind-bending meta-narrative that breaks the fourth wall—the omniscient narrator will try to control your path, so you'll have to defy his commands and uncover the truth about ICEY's world and your own identity.


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.

hard to say I dislike or like this game definitively, as my opinions are mixed. But overall? I see more bad than good. I didn't play far enough for the story to hook me, so I'll take anyone's word for it if I'm told it's good. However the movement is janky and the graphics are mismatched. ICEY plays like she wants to be on a MUCH bigger screen, and when I am moving forward, for some reason she is right on the right side of the screen and thus I can't see anything until it's on top of me? Horrible platformer design. The character design is good though and I could really enjoy the combat if it were a little more fleshed out. Overall I'd say 5/10. Kinda just mediocre.

What a time to be alive! Seeing Messi lifting his 2nd World Cup and playing a good action platformer game like this! The Goat Messi Recommended this!

This was a great game. I picked it up years ago when I watched a YouTube video I liked play it (Thank you, Tear of Grace). Even on easy, it was hard as hell and a kick to the teeth on more than one occasion but making the narrator constantly angry at me made it worth it. 7/10 - Why do you need to know the truth? Ignorance is bliss.

enemies are far too tanky and Icey is quite squishy so some fights really drag on. This could have been good if i could combo them, but the tanks arent easily juggled. You can infinatly dash if you time it well enough so im never in much danger, unless i go out my way to use the doge counter. The counter does a lot of damage so it speeds up fights. The risk reward is cool but its out of proportion. A few of the bosses seem to have no tell or pattern to there attacks, they just happen without warning or anyway to know and they are too fast to react to. This makes the counter really annoying to use a lot of the time. The story and narrater are cool and intresting, it made the game feel more unique, but it was a little too short. get the game if its on sale, deffinately not worth the full price
