Unheard - Voices of Crime

Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Overwhelmingly Positive2019

US Steam price, checked 5 h ago

The verdict

A short, clever audio-only deduction game where you eavesdrop on overlapping conversations. Skip it if you need subtitles, want hard puzzles, or can't stand campy English voice acting.

Great for

Players who want a short, novel deduction game, enjoy close listening, and buy on sale

Main risk

Tedious re-listening, easy puzzles, and cheesy English voice acting with no subtitles

What changed in the last 30 days

Recent negative reviews cite endless re-listening, no subtitles, bad voice acting and unskippable recaps. Few recent reviews, so only moderately sure.

What players love

Unique audio-only detective concept

Mentioned in ~1 in 2 positive reviews

“Hearing voice recordings instead of seeing it visually makes you have to pay much more attention, and it feels rewarding when you can piece together the testimonies and alibis to see who did what.”

What players complain about

Cheesy, overacted English voice acting

Mentioned in ~2 in 5 negative reviews

“a game focused entirely around voices and dialogue probably shouldn't have embarrassingly bad voice acting and writing”

Tedious relistening, slow pace

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“you unfortunately end up spending way too long listening and relistening to the same conversations, which is pretty much the opposite of compelling gameplay”
