Unheard

About

Unheard casts you as a detective who solves crimes using only audio clues. You travel through time via a device that replays conversations from past scenes. Each case unfolds through voices you eavesdrop on, requiring you to match names to speakers, track relationships, and piece together timelines. The point-and-click interface lets you pause, rewind, and isolate dialogue to uncover motives and hidden details. The story doesn’t follow a fixed path, you assemble events in the order you discover them. The game’s reliance on sound alone creates a distinct investigative challenge. With no visuals to guide you, every tone, interruption, or overlap in speech becomes a clue. Players praise its clever use of audio layering and the way it forces close attention to dialogue. Released in 2019, it runs on most platforms from Switch to PC. NEXT Studio’s design focuses on narrative depth over action, appealing to fans of methodical puzzles and branching mysteries.

Storyline

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?
