What players say
Combat heavy side scroller + Stanley's Parable. Game's short (i 100%'d it in less than 5h without rushing on the highest difficulty) but is worth it. Combat's smooth and fun. Narrator interactions is the main gist so you must be into that "4th wall breaking" games.

Very fun action game. The battle system and story is ok but what really shines is the narration during the game. It really makes you wanna explore every scene so you can see what's gonna happen next.
Despite being several years old, ICEY still feels surprisingly relevant. Playing it in 2026, I can confidently say it's a really good experience. The most original aspect of the game is, without a doubt, its fourth-wall breaking. The narrator constantly comments on what you're doing, and some of the best moments come from deliberately disobeying his instructions and getting scolded for it. That's easily the game's...

About the game
ICEY is a 2D side-scrolling action game and a META game in disguise. As you follow the narrator's omnipresent voice, you will see through ICEY's eyes and learn the truth about her world. The narrator will constantly urge you in one direction, but you must ask, "Why? Why am I following his directions?“ Obey? Rebel?
