March 2025

Wow. I haven't had such an incredible time with a mystery game in so long. I originally bought this game because it was the last game my brother played on steam before he passed away. I see why he got it. We both like mystery puzzle games, so for him to play this doesn't surprise me. It gave me something to connect with my brother in his remembrance. Other than to remember my brother, the gameplay is AMAZING. I've been looking for a mystery solving game like this for a long time, so to play this was incredible! I was worried that I'd have to cheat for some of the mysteries, but it felt incredible to actually solve the puzzles on my own. I highly recommend this to ANYONE who'd love a good mystery!

This game was so much fun, the ending definitely through me for a complete loop but I highly recommend this game if you enjoy true crime or if you enjoy the games that make you think. It does need more content because it is a short game, was able to complete all the accomplishments and the dlc in just over 10hrs. I would play this for 100 if there was more content to it. All in all was a fantastic game!

This is honestly one of the best games I've played in a long time. It's short, but it makes your think and question things. It's also so original with a great twist! Absolutely 10 out of 10

Sept. 2024

Disclaimer that I've only played the base game, not the DLCs. This is one of those cases where the lack of nuances in Steam reviews gets in the way of a good evaluation. This is a 5.5/10 for me, but I'd find it unfair to give it a negative review. The game is fine, you can solve the 5 cases that come with the base game with relative ease in less than 4 hours and I'd say it's fun for its whole duration. Problem is the real game is not solving the cases, but correctly matching the names with the voices - once you do that, you can brute-force the actual answers to the crimes and that's it. The whole atmosphere of the game tries to convince you that something creepy is or will happen, but without much substance. You finish the game with a feeling of "that's it?". Also, the achievements don't make much sense - why would I torture myself by not using the fast-forward option in a 13-minute clip I've been listening to for the 4th time? I've found other detective games, such as Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol, way more enjoyable. Either way, Unheard still deserves some respect for trying - and partially succeding - to give a new approach to the genre. If you're looking for some quick detective fun, this game will do it. I'd recommend to only buy it on a sale tho.

As someone who loves detective and puzzle games, Unheard - Voices of Crime immediately caught my attention. The game offers a unique experience, blending mystery-solving with an audio-based detective mechanic. You play as a detective who pieces together the story entirely through sound. Essentially, you are a fly on the wall, listening to conversations and environmental noises to reconstruct the events leading up to a crime. Each level presents two main objectives: matching voices to characters and answering key questions about the case. You move around the crime scene on a virtual map, where the audio changes based on your location. This setup requires replaying the audio clip multiple times to gather all the necessary information. The other characters are represented as dotted circles and when they speak, a visual equalizer effect appears around them. As you match names to these circles, you can track the characters’ movements on the map, even when you’re in a different room. The cases are thoughtfully designed, with increasing complexity as you progress through the five main cases (plus additional DLC content). Solving them feels really rewarding. Later cases introduce larger maps, longer audio recordings, and more characters, which makes attentive listening and note-taking crucial. Fortunately, the game allows you to add notes directly to the audio track, helping you keep track of important details. I suggest using headphones for the best experience. The audio quality is excellent, with atmospheric background sounds that draw you deeper into the experience. The voice acting is strong, with occasional over-the-top performances that actually help in distinguishing characters, which is especially useful since the game relies solely on audio for storytelling. People with hearing difficulties should be aware that the game lacks subtitles, which could make it harder (or impossible) to enjoy the game.
