Winter Voices is one of those odd games that you play and don't actually have any fun doing so. You play for the feel of it, the atmosphere, the music, some quirk that intrigues you; but you can't exactly call it -fun-. I took a chance on this one because the premise sounded different and interesting, and I'll admit it delivered on that, but I somehow still feel disappointed. When I look at this game again without...

Truly unique turn-based RPG that doesn't quite reach the potential brilliance of its central conceit, but has enough that's great about it to be worth playing. You are a girl in a fantasy kingdom trying to piece together your history while overcoming the trauma of your father's death. All of the upgrades and skills are associated with different psychological ways of dealing with grief and all battles are psychic...

This is going to be a hard one to review. This is not my type of game. I played it for about 2 hours before I gave up. It's a game similar to Final Fantasy Tactics, with more narrative and less combat. The setting is interesting, and the way the delivery is handled is very good. The artwork is decent. The writing is amazing. But the game is slow-paced and there's a lot of minor things that doesn't grab me. I...

A great and mature story combined with an absolutely interesting turn-based combat system make for a great formula of a game. The drawback? The game has its share of slow moments, especially in the Prologue, and mainly in the engine (Adobe AIR) and the quite large share of issues you'll likely have with it. But overall, issues aside, it's really fun, and there might also be a Season 2 coming. Be sure to let the...

I will say this right away: do not get this game. Strong Points -Interesting story -Strategic combat -Plethora of skills allow for unique builds Weak Points -Unbelievably slow pace -Game runs slowly and not on the latest version of Adobe Air -Riddled with bugs and glitches -Difficulty curve all over the place -Objectives are more often than not unclear -Large number of errors in dialogue and text This game has...

I really like the idea of a tactical RPG/adventure that explores emotions instead of your usual heroics, but boy is it a slog to play. I also disliked the writing and the tone of the game; dealing with trauma and death is an extremely compelling subject, but instead of exploring its facets, the game often offers you three different variations of how to sob (and one sarcastic remark that is rarely funny). I guess the...

Summary: Interesting universe created a refreshing explanation of RPG gameplay. Narration/storyline tried a too hard to be deep. The story ends up not saying much about the main character. Slow-paced game; battles are more puzzle-like than turn-based real time strategy. Not enough skill points at times, but you can manually reset points in .txt log. Great atmosphere and music; great art except I don't like the...

Winter Voices is an indie text heavy RPG a bit akin to Planescape: Torment, but also very different. Its strongest point is its fairly linear psychological and existential story centred on some of the darker aspects of us humans, but ultimately it's an experience of struggle, development, hope and growth; made with psychological insight. Next its "combat" encounters and its weakest the free roam hub-sections like the...

This is a hard game to recommend. Truth be told, it has a fair share of drawbacks. Even with that in mind, this game possesses amazing naration, a deep, innovative combat/RPG system and a powerful story. It touches some very dark themes, and does so with finesse. The psychological allusions fused with the norse mythology work together to build an unforgetable and deeply affecting experience. My advice - play the...
