Overview
Frozen Heart is a 2D visual novel for players who enjoy fantasy adventures with a romance thread running through them. It plays out with a calm, mystery-driven tone rather than fast action.
Story
Commander Angeline sets out with the player to acquire a ship, a simple task that turns into something larger. Her sword, Sigard, grants her power over ice but was recently repaired, and she now struggles to control it. Whether the weapon has changed since the Battle of Stars Reach, or she has, is unclear, and if she cannot master it again, it threatens to master her instead.
Gameplay
The player travels alongside Angeline through story-driven scenes, making choices that shape how her struggle with the sword unfolds. Progress comes through dialogue and narrative events rather than open exploration, with the monster-girl and fantasy setting framing each new stop on the journey.
Features
- Hand-drawn 2D art with animated scenes
- A standalone story set in the Faulty Apprentice universe, playable without prior knowledge of it
- A male protagonist adventure paired with a romance subplot
- A central mystery tied to a cursed, ice-granting sword
Installation
1. Extract and run.

- Not much. Been focusing on new content. Will tweak and adjust in the next update based upon your feedback. So don't be shy (good or bad)!
- Update 2 2025-10-09
- Major Updates
- NSFW Content! All the Commander's CGs are included in this public demo. A walkthrough how to access and navigate them all is avaliable for FREE on my patreon.
- Angeline's Path! Angeline now has a seperate dialogue tree to explore. This path is heavily influenced by your R.Stat (Relationship Stat), so I will be updating the Walkthrough Guide and posting a new one tomorrow.
Minor Updates:
- Free Time! Now before setting out for Rhinemarch, you will have the time to explore all of Angeline's path trees. Just tell Durandall when you're ready to head out!
- UI Changes! I am still trying to figure out the UI style direction I want, so this may not be final, but it should look a bit cooler!
- Dialogue Choices! I have edited the presentation to see who (if anyone) is presenting you with the question and visibly see their dialogue as you make your choices. You won't see the Apprentice sprite anymore, but I think this new system works better.
