Buy Arcadie II: Cold Lands PC key

Arcadie II: Cold Lands is a character-driven interactive story about ruling a kingdom after claiming its Crown. You are the last of your kind and the only person able to master Aether, a mystical energy that can summon fire and lightning against your foes. Your decisions shape the kingdom’s future and your relationships with the people closest to you.

A kingdom under pressure

The kingdom has a long history of conquests and few allies. In the north, your eternal enemies wait beyond the snow; in the south, rebellion challenges your family’s ancestral rule. Trade falters in the west, while across the eastern seas there are signs that the quiet may not last. You can strengthen your rule or forge alliances, but your decisions can also put what matters most at risk.

Your character and choices

You create and customize your character, choosing a personality that can be conciliatory, scheming or humorous. The world reacts to your choices, and each character has their own motivations and goals. Your relationships shape much of the story, and your decisions lead to different endings.

You can set the world state using decisions from Arcadie: Second-Born, including past engagements, political choices and arcane bargains, which may return to haunt you or bring pleasant surprises. You can also start without playing the first game. Progress can be saved or loaded at any time, and you can rewind to change your choices.

Allies and romances

Sir Wilfred, or Lady Willeen, is your trusted advisor and Commander in the South, sworn to protect you until their last breath. Their exterior is cold, but their affection is steadfast and genuine. They can be male or female and can be romanced by a character of any gender.

Cyril, heir to the realm’s most powerful house, supported your claim to the throne and remains one of your trusted advisors. A brilliant diplomat and passionate lover, Cyril can be male or female and can be romanced by a character of any gender.

The former Commander in the North may or may not have survived the events of Arcadie: Second-Born, depending on your choices. Most still see him as an enemy, but he can be romanced by either gender. You can continue a romance from the first game with Cyril, your betrothed, or Will, your loyal commander, or pursue a romance with your enemy. Each romance has its own narrative and conflicts. You can also remain unattached.
