Forged in Ice
A downloadable Visual Novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Think Cold Thoughts
After the fall of Aurelia, the Living Flame, the world has been locked in a frigid everfrost. The final embers are kept alive within the walls of Apricity, the last city, safeguarded by an order of powerful flame-wielding nobility: The Firecallers.
Beyond the city walls, the frostlands are harsh and unforgiving, but Herleva has resolved to forge her own path. She's a bit sharp around the edges, but she'll get you where you need to go. So when the young prince of the Firecallers requests your services, it’s up to you to cut a path through the ice.

another issue.
a field of flowers is fully accessible, but the jukebox and galary don't work properly.
could you fix those?
i'd be happy to play your games.!
please let me know when more accessibility can be/is added.
could you make this blind accessible?
i'd really love to play this!.
self-voicing works, but not well enough.
Hello darksand123!
Thank you so much for expressing your interest in our game! We'd be happy to add some additional support for our blind players, starting with a better implementation of the Ren'Py self-voicing system.
Additionally, I will look into the inclusion of alt-text descriptions for key cinematics, and animations where audio and dialogue cues may be insufficient. Please allow us a few weeks to make the improvements, and follow us so you will be notified when they are released.
We also welcome your feedback and suggestions for further accessibility features. Feel free to join our Discord, where you can share your thoughts directly with us and the community.
Thank you for your continued support!
~ Kevin, Studio Director, Illusory World
