Description

The King of Shades has cursed the great city of Icenaire. Now cast under a permanent blight of frost fall, its former residents have returned from the dead as mad Wraiths. Survivors take refuge deep underground where they lead a desperate campaign against this unearthly power. Woefully outmatched, they are forced into hiding as the King of Shades amasses an army of the undead above them. One fateful day, a mysterious stranger appears in the city with an enchanted vambrace. She may now be their only hope…


You are Evelia Lyric, bearer of the Aetherbrace and the only human capable of entering Icenaire. The survivors now look to you as their best hope against the King of Shades. Only one problem...you’re woefully outmatched, and survival is not guaranteed.

Vambrace: Cold Soul is a narrative-driven game filled with memorable characters, brutal challenges, and deep strategy. To succeed, you must choose perceptive party leaders, camp to recuperate, navigate strange encounters, and survive deadly combat. Will you scavenge for supplies to sell or use them to craft new items for your next expedition? The surface of Icenaire is cold and unforgiving. So, prepare your party well before departing...lest you join the cursed city's undead.

In this game, the difference between life and undeath all comes down to good planning and smart tactics!


  • Embark on an epic fantasy-adventure spanning 7 intriguing chapters.
  • Complete sub-quests to unlock up to 26 new, thematic character skins.
  • Assemble your party from 5 races and 10 unique classes of recruits.
  • Craft items and armor from precious materials gathered on your trips.
  • Make crucial decisions where one wrong turn can seal your party's fate.
  • Prepare well or condemn your comrades to permanent death.
  • Find codex pages to expand upon Ethera's history and mythical lore.


Games that inspired us:


  • The side-scrolling action of Darkest Dungeon
  • The epic lore of the Elder Scrolls
  • The gothic horror of Castlevania
  • The character-driven narrative of Final Fantasy VI
  • The roguelite design of FTL: Faster Than Light

My experience

Fine gameplay, challanging enemies with different mechanics. I like a graphics style in this game and saundtrack is really nice.

cotton candy, sweet but no actual flavor

it's many steps above the pay to win flash games you see advertised online, but the repetitive gameplay weighs down a story that could otherwise have been worth exploring. Pretty, albeit simple art made me stick with it for hours longer than I would have otherwise.

Nice story based RPG

This is such a beautifully drawn game. It's a two dimensional adventure story with some tactical combat elements and some RPG like qualities, but really a pleasure to play through. The combat is not complicated. There is a little bit of crafting and a very little bit of leveling (only the main character has some limited stats improvement), but you do get a lot of options on team building and equipment. Gameplay is easy to pick up and on the light side, but would recommend for the art and storyline.

Fun and sometimes challenging

Good game. Story pretty good, rarely gets in the way. Mechanis strong influenced by Darkest dungeon, somewhat less challenging than DD, but still keeps your on your toes.
