Book game
Heart of Ice is a one-person book-based game in which you decide what happens next. Each paragraph (there are over 450 of them) at the end refers you to the next one, labeled with a different number. Often, you have a choice of several options for the further development of the story, and depending on what decision you make, the story will continue. S erce Ice makes its debut on the Polish market for the first time, in a graphic design enriched and expanded with additional elements.
The dystopian world of the Ice Heart
In the XXIII century, the Earth is on the verge of a new Ice Age. After the GAIA climate control system was destroyed, most of the planet turned into an icy wasteland. The catastrophe caused a global crisis, wars and famine, as a result of which the population of the Earth shrunk to several million people, inhabiting a few enclaves, separated from each other by dangerous wastelands.
It is in this dilapidated, ruthless, frozen world, in the region of the Venis enclave, that your adventure begins. As one of the few, you receive a broadcast from Gaia and decide to set off on an expedition that could change the fate of the world.
The ending of this story depends only on your choices.
