Story

Lara is searching for the legendary 'Iceheart' sword. Said to be forged of valyric steel, it is so slender and sharp that it is almost invisible when viewed in profile. It is rumoured that the owner of this sword will be invincible in battle.

Deep within Castle Riverrun is where the sword is guarded and the road to retrieving it is not easy. Lara will have to be creative, fast, observant and courageous if she wishes to retrieve this sword and escape Castle Riverrun.

Notes
 Lara has to find 5 pieces of knight's armour, along with their corresponding Sword Keys, before she will be able to collect the legendary Iceheart sword. You will not be able to get the Iceheart without them and, therefore, you will not be able to complete the game. The sword keys are distributed through the Castle as follows:

 Level 1 – Castle Riverrun – 1 sword key
Level 2 – Dungeon (Part I) – 1 sword key
Level 3 – Dungeon (Part II) – 2 sword keys
Level 4 – In the castle – 1 sword key

Don't worry if you don't have them all when you reach the final area, as you will be able to go back and retrieve any you may have missed.

Secrets: There are 4 golden roses to collect, 1 in each level.

Castle Riverrun

Step into this wondrous Castle and enjoy wandering through the grounds. Admire the architecture and revel in the gameplay. But don't get complacent for deep below the castle lie the dungeons, where centuries of dark mysteries swirl in a cauldron of fear and betrayal. You will have to explore their darkest secrets if you are to retrieve the sword.

Masha has put together a masterful series of levels here. From the Castle grounds, through the dungeons, until you finally enter the Castle itself, the gameplay is intriguing and completely immersive. How do I know? I finished it in one sitting. I kept looking at the clock, knowing it was way past my bedtime, but couldn't put it down.

Some fabulous moments too, like the surprise when I actually got to wander around inside a mirror room! Great puzzles, immersive environments, intriguing storyline, and rich architecture dripping with atmosphere. One thing I particularly enjoyed about the gameplay, was that although I reached the final room with only 4 Sword keys, I could go back and retrieve the one I was missing from the dungeons.
