ICO - Limited Edition (guaranteed used)

In a magical world, a young boy is born with a strange deformity: large horns protruding from both sides of his head. The people of his village, fearful of reprisals from above, feel they have no choice but to sacrifice this mutant child to please their gods. To this end, they took this boy, named Ico, to a huge, seemingly deserted castle and left him in a giant urn. But when the urn breaks, spilling Ico into the bowels of the fortress, he soon discovers that his adventure has only just begun. Along the way he will meet a mysterious princess who has been held prisoner in the castle for countless years. Although they cannot communicate through words, they soon form an unspoken bond and it becomes clear that if either of them is to escape the castle alive, their fates must remain intertwined.

Ico and the princess don't speak the same language, but that doesn't mean they don't interact. On the contrary, since their relationship is a key element of the game. Ico's main goal is to escape, but he can't and won't leave the princess behind. Although it has limited power in terms of mobility, it has the ability to open some doors blocked by huge idols. However, Ico has to do most of the hard work, grabbing the princess's hand to drag her along to new locations. He can call her when she is far away and help her climb steep ledges and overcome long jumps that she normally couldn't do alone.

Don't assume that this journey will be a pleasant jog through the castle, as there are many obstacles along the way. The castle is not a simple arrangement of straight corridors and open doors. Instead, players will have to use their brainpower to solve the puzzling twists and turns the fortress has to offer. They must run, jump, climb, swing and explode objects and traps in their path, all the while finding an easier way to get the princess through all this. And to prevent anyone from believing that the castle is actually abandoned, the two will be constantly chased by dark creatures intent on dragging the princess to prison.
