    well, must say it: it's not a game. it appears to be more an interactive movie with turn-based rpg elements. you know, i'm always with indie developers, i always appreciate hard creative work which someone did, but we need to be honest with the result. so it has nice graphics, nice sound, probably a good story, of course. but it lacks of experience in game development and mechanics, whichwell, must say it: it's not a game. it appears to be more an interactive movie with turn-based rpg elements. you know, i'm always with indie developers, i always appreciate hard creative work which someone did, but we need to be honest with the result. so it has nice graphics, nice sound, probably a good story, of course. but it lacks of experience in game development and mechanics, which makes it hard to enjoy. it is not slow, as some mentioned before; it is just not a game, because there is a difference between storytelling in games, interactive movies, movies, and literature, for example. take the dramatic intro sequence. how long it takes to see the menu, at all? how long for the gameplay? why not telling the story in-game? why so many decision messages between single moves? inexperience game developers always try to put everything in their games. narrators and narration are something you must be careful of, in games, because games makes a difference to radio, literature or movies. imo the game lacks of a good art or gameplay director, of game dev experience, which means: there should be someone who knows how to put story, graphics, sound and gameplay together for a game. story and graphics does not make a game. if you need an inspiration: take "the walking dead" game, which is a solid adventure game.… Expand

    Winter Voices is sadly too slow and the buildup doesn't pay off in the end.

    In the end, despite the inkling that the designers had a couple of good ideas rattling around in there somewhere, Winter Voices simply fails to be much fun. Perhaps later iterations in the series will polish the AI, make combat more exciting, and fix the writing… but we doubt it.
