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 of the defeated god flicker in the lanterns of a flame-wielding nobility, an order of sorcerers known as the Firecallers.
Beyond their city walls, the frostlands are harsh and unforgiving. Dangerous creatures roam the frozen world seeking to stamp out any source of heat. Only the bravest and most skilled adventurers dare venture out beyond the islands of warmth into the icy world beyond.
So when the young prince of the Firecallers requests your services, it’s up to you, a notorious mercenary, to cut a path through the ice.

a few small suggestions.
could you make the main menu in this, as well asour lost world work with self-voicing?
i like the autoforward feature, but could you make it optional?
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
