Unheard

Unheard is an interactive radio drama that combines aural narrative techniques with exploration elements in order to create an enthralling and unique experience that can't be found anywhere else. The game was developed by NEXT Studios and published by NEXT Studios, bilibili on March 29th, 2019. Take a trip down memory lane with the assistance of sound. Hear voices and let them guide you back to crime scenes in order to see the full picture. Who did what, when, and how. But, don't think that you can trust each voice. There is a thread that is tieing all of these cases together, but only a skilled detective will manage to unravel all of these schemes. Use a special kind of device to listen to conversations that took place during past crime scenes. All the clues, moves, and motives are presented to the player in the form of audio, and then it's up to the player to decide what was useful information and what wasn't. Follow the trail of conversations and see how the story evolves. Since you're basically a fly on the wall that is only there to observe and listen, be careful about each word said. You can never know which person is the culprit as all the information is available to you right from the start. But using deduction to fit certain pieces of the puzzle together will determine if you're a cunning detective or not. Replay the audio as many times as you want once certain storylines become intertwined with one another. Complicated cases will appear, and the player has to untangle them using only clues left behind in conversations. Unheard is a unique game, putting all the focus on audio and using that compelling and interesting gameplay.
