About the Game

An Incremental Escape from an Icy Prison

Play as a demon trying to smash his way through the icy barriers of a deep, frozen cavern. Wield your pickaxe and hellfire to shatter the ice - it's the only way to forge a path to the surface. A demonic magic crystal will grant you the power to upgrade your abilities and make your escape ever more efficient.

More Than Just Barriers

As you make your escape, you'll encounter and destroy not only obstacles but also intricate ice formations depicting mysterious scenes. Who are the figures in these frozen dioramas, and what do they signify? What are the cryptic messages you keep receiving? Why are you trapped here, and who left you the pickaxe? These are the questions you must answer as you piece together the truth.

No Cruelty

Though you play as a demon, you won't be harming any living creatures in this game. Your only adversaries are the thick layers of ice and the statues frozen within. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't - you are utterly alone in this profound confinement.
