Winter Voices

Winter Voices is an episodic, narrative-driven role-playing game set in an imaginary, timeless world at the start of the Industrial Revolution. You control a 24-year-old heroine as she copes with her father’s death and journeys through Winter, facing her personal demons. The first season comprises seven downloadable episodes, each revealing more of her story.

Story and world

The prologue, Avalanche, begins in a small village buried in snow in a valley of the Three-River Principality. After a sudden death, the heroine finds her home hostile and develops new sensory capacities. Driven from her father’s village by voices from her unconscious mind, she sets out on a journey to find answers. Along the way, she confronts anger, sadness, pain and fear, and seeks to understand what the voices of Winter are whispering.

Exploration and combat

You explore the world and engage in real-time dialogue using point-and-click gameplay. Combat shifts to strictly defensive, turn-based encounters: the heroine defends her mind as memories overwhelm her and she struggles against inner demons, fears, illusory voices, guilt and madness. The game’s psychic battles are woven between conversations and exploration.

Sound and atmosphere

A dynamic soundtrack uses haunting melodies to accompany the heroine’s journey of self-discovery and reflect its dark mood, cold journey and mysterious past.
