As of today, the price of Icebound is increasing from $14.99 to $19.99 USD. This is not to reflect any massive additions to the game, but a crazy little thing called inflation means that $20 today is quite literally $15 back when the game released. This update is purely to maintain the game's original price point, as it has become devalued over time due to the economy and the passage of time. I still believe that the game holds up today, and $15 was a low-ish price point even for the time. The imminent addition of the long-awaited voice acting with the game's final-ever major update will add even more to the deal.
If you are thinking of buying the game, don't worry, since Icebound will be hitting its greatest-ever discount soon regardless. Thank you for reading this and any continued support!
Icebound is a steampunk fantasy visual novel and puzzle game in a world that has fallen into the depths of a thousand-year ice age. Alchemy is a very real ability to manipulate the forces of nature and machines run using clockworks and steam. Humans have united under the Empire, a mighty continent-wide government that seeks to harness the power of alchemy, while the horned race of ferans lives in tenuous peace.
A wandering alchemist named Dougal, and his icebat Familiar, Isaac, wind up in Isenbarr, an isolated frontier town that is about as cold as you can get. But, when he tries to get a job, he stumbles upon a mysterious challenge with a potentially priceless reward, and several other alchemists vying for the prize. He must use all the alchemical skills at his disposal in order to defeat the monster plaguing the town and prove himself worthy. Unfortunately for him, this seemingly straightforward task turns out to be anything but.
