Winter Voices is a narrative-driven, episodic, role-playing game set in an imaginary and timeless world at the start of the Industrial Revolution. Players control a 24 year-old heroine as she deals with the death of her father. She must journey through the heart of Winter and battle her worst enemies – her own personal demons.

The first season of the Winter Voices series is comprised of seven downloadable episodes, each unraveling new elements of the character’s tale.

Winter Voices combines “point and click” real-time gaming with strictly defensive turn-based combat. As the game alternates real-time dialog and world exploration with combat, players will experience turn-based psychic warfare.

Episode Prologue - Avalanche: A drama is unfolding in a tiny village buried in snow, lost in the depths of a Three-River Principality valley. A sudden death, a now-hostile home, new sensory capacities rising like a storm and the departure towards the unknown, the only means to escape besides death, has become inevitable... The newly-orphaned heroine is pushed to leave her father’s village by the voices of her unconscious mind. The long journey to find answers will lead you through many events to overcome anger, sadness, pain and fear and finally unveil what is whispered by the voices of Winter.

Note: Winter Voices’ episodes are not playable as stand alone. Each episode must be installed and played in the following order: Prologue, Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4.

   ok until it stopped working!

   by Lilly Hryczyk, USA - Jan 12th 2012

   I was trying to play the prologue until I got to a scene where I was asked to talk to a specific person. Sounds easy enough, except nobody was there and the game wouldn't let me move away from the scene I was in. So no one to talk to, no way to go anywhere else. *sigh*

   Interesting Story

   by Judy Warren, USA - Jul 24th 2011

   This game has a really nice story and lots of characters to get to know. You can chose what you say to different characters, which is rather nice in an RPG. Winter Voices doesn't really have graphics, but painted scenery. The combat system was kinda disappointing, and played out like a board game. I had issues with installing the game, and needed technical support to install it. If you enjoy reading and watching NPC reactions, and a dull combat system, this might be for you. Good game overall.

   Winter Voices Prologue

   by Ellen Thompson, USA - Jul 24th 2011

   Wish I could have tried this game before buying it even though it was not expensive at all. I don't like it at all. It has the appearance of very old technology, very small graphics and definitely un-engaging game play.
