With Eyes of Ice

About

With Eyes of Ice is a story-driven visual novel set in 19th-century Iceland following Gréta, a woman navigating unexpected emotional crossroads. As she interacts with three distinct male characters each offering their own form of support, choices shape her journey through a narrative focused on relationships and personal growth. The game emphasizes dialogue and branching paths over action, with hand-drawn art and a setting inspired by Icelandic landscapes and folklore. The game stands out for its slow-burning romance and melancholic tone, which some players note feels more like a literary drama than a typical dating sim. While the character interactions are praised for their nuance, the deliberately paced plot may not suit those seeking fast-paced decisions. With a runtime of roughly 15-20 hours depending on choices, it’s a niche pick for those interested in period dramas with quiet emotional beats.
