About the Game

Tower of the Ice Lich is a solo dungeon-crawlclimbing adventure about ascending a treacherous tower, surviving monsters, traps and temptations along the way. As the player you must constantly evaluate risk vs reward, manage your resources and choose your battles to ensure you get to the end and face the Lich.

No two runs are ever the same in the Lich's tower: The layout of the tower shifts, and the perils and it's treasures are found in different places every playthough.

The only constant is the Lich, waiting for you atop the Tower.
