Heart of Ice: Escape Your Frosty Fate in Text Adventure

Summer has arrived, and you might already feel the heat taking its toll. Ready for an escape to a much cooler destination? Imagine a place so cold it can freeze entire groups of people into solid ice statues on the spot. That’s the fascinating world awaiting you in the new game Heart of Ice.

What's it all about? Heart of Ice, written by Dave Morris, is a text-driven adventure game reminiscent of the Fighting Fantasy series—or, for the super millennials, the Give Yourself Goosebumps books.

A Choose Your Own Adventure Book On Your Phone

Though it's text-based, this is more than just a book—you have real influence over your actions. The choices you make shape how the story unfolds, and different decisions can steer the plot in unexpected directions. Be aware: your main character might not always get a happy ending. Making the wrong move could lead to a less-than-ideal outcome.

You can choose from seven distinct character classes, each with unique skills and starting equipment.

An in-game currency system and merchants let you buy helpful items that can open up new possibilities as you progress.

Retell The Story

There's plenty of replayability thanks to narrative branches that change with your choices. Four difficulty levels are available, so you can challenge yourself or take it easy. Experiment with other classes or explore what might have happened if you had checked out that mysterious mountain scene.

Heart of Ice is a premium game, which comes with clear benefits: no ads, no in-app purchases, and full offline play. You won't lose access just because your data is off or your connection drops—something we all find frustrating when it happens.

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, you can download Heart of Ice right now via Google Play or the App Store.
