Unheard

Unheard is a narrative-centric detective game. Put on your headphones and step back into the past. Use the voices you hear to return to crime scenes, tracking down each individual involved and solving the cases! The game puts players in the role of a time-traveling detective who is only able to use one sense, sound. Also, the game’s story is a non-linear experience. Players must build their own timelines from the clues in conversations they overhear.

The story

Step through time as you use our device to eavesdrop on conversations from past crime scenes. Every clue, every move, and every motive will be presented in the form of audio. Rather than controlling any one character, you only need listen to their conversations, following along as the story evolves. Use the information you hear to match names to voices and determine how everything (and everyone) is related. Can you discover the truth?
