NIS America Shares Music Clip #4 of The Cruel King and the Great Hero; ‘Whisper of the Icicles’

Publisher NIS America has shared a music clip for the upcoming The Cruel King and the Great Hero, titled “Whisper of the Icicles.” This track sounds simultaneously ominous yet soothing, instilling a sense of unnerving trepidation throughout its duration.

You can listen to “Whisper of the Icicles” via NIS America’s official Youtube channel below:

The Cruel King and the Great Hero features a storybook-inspired art style by childhood storybooks. The project is written and illustrated by Sayaka Oda, who also worked on The Liar Princess and The Blind Prince.

In the title, players witness a young girl, Yuu, being raised by a dragon and the adventures that they share daily. It’s almost adorable to see the two interact, but you know they will face some trials throughout the narrative. She dreams of becoming a hero like her father, so she goes on many adventures. As the player explores the areas, it’ll be possible to find hidden items. In addition, they will unlock illustrations, character profiles, and other goodies for the game gallery.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is releasing for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on March 1, 2022.
