About Unheard - Voices of Crime

Unheard – Voices of Crime asks you to put on headphones and travel back to crime scenes using only the voices you hear, with every clue delivered as audio.

The game is open‑ended and non‑linear, letting you act as a silent observer who can switch between characters and replay conversations until you form your own conclusions.

01 / THE GUIDE

Audio‑Based Investigation

All clues, every move, and every motive are presented in the form of audio, so you must listen carefully to identify speakers and extract information.

You are not controlling a character; you simply listen to conversations as the story unfolds.

  • Take brief notes while listening to keep track of who says what.
  • Use the replay function to verify ambiguous statements.

02 / THE GUIDE

Non‑Linear Narrative

The story does not follow a fixed order; any character’s storyline can intersect with another at any moment, and you decide which threads to follow.

Because the narrative is open‑ended, there is no single “correct” path, and the order in which you experience events shapes your personal understanding of the mystery.

  • Experiment with different listening orders to discover new connections.
  • Pay attention to recurring themes that may link separate scenes.

03 / THE GUIDE

Replayable Audio

You can replay any audio clip as many times as you want, allowing thorough examination of each line for hidden details that may influence the case.

Repeated listening can reveal subtle cues, such as tone changes or background sounds, that are easy to miss on a first pass.

  • Listen for background noises that may hint at location.
  • Compare repeated lines for inconsistencies.

04 / THE GUIDE

Platform Availability

Unheard runs on Windows and macOS, offering a consistent experience across both operating systems.

The title lists Steam Cloud and Family Sharing as supported features.

  • Enable Steam Cloud in the client settings to keep your save data synchronized.
  • Family Sharing lets other Steam accounts launch the game without purchasing it.

05 / THE GUIDE

Single‑Player Experience

Designed for solo play, Unheard places the player in the role of an observer rather than a character controller.

All information presented is what any person present at the scene would hear.

  • Create a quiet environment to fully hear subtle audio details.
  • Treat each case as a standalone puzzle to avoid confusion.
