It all began with Gréta Egilsdóttir almost dying of frostbite. Except it kind of didn’t. Or maybe it did. I actually doubt even With Eyes of Ice‘s protagonist, Gréta, knows what kicked off this whole ordeal. Even so, a lot has happened, that much is certain, and now… she finds herself in a pickle.
If you believe that having not one, nor two, but a grand total of three handsome men caring for her in their own unique way is a pickle (which I suppose it is, as she can only, realistically, end up with one of them). I’m sure there are those who’d absolutely love to be in her proverbial shoes though. According to her, at least one of them was “love at first sight”, after all, but then there’s another of the bunch who’s, you know, married. Yeah. A recipé for disaster, no way around that. Ah, and as for the third, well, he remains a bit of an enigma (as I have not played With Eyes of Ice at the time of writing).
But there are some loves which cannot — or perhaps should not — be.
Oh, another thing to keep in mind is that, according to its creator, this visual novel features content that is “rather dark, and may upset some people”. Hit the Steam or itch.io links below for a full list of content warnings, in case you’re curious. That said, there aren’t any ‘good’ or ‘bad’ endings. Just one, in fact, as this is a kinetic (no choices/branches) story, although it does still feature both drama and – based on available screenshots – a handful of era-appropriate cute characters. In other words, good stuff.
With Eyes of Ice (and its demo) can be acquired from Steam and itch.io for $14.99.
