Although its story is opaque and difficult to discern at times, it's a quite meaningful mystery story. The key attraction, however, is the combat... where you're forced to fight not physical monsters you can squish, but nightmares and dark memories you are incapable of harming. It's a puzzle-strategy game where you must build your character around psychological defense mechanisms that will allow you to outwit the demons in your character's own mind. (Denial isolates you from damage. Sublimate fantasies that the nightmares have to tear down before they can reach you. A slight bout of schizophrenia displaces the target of the nightmare's blame.) It's downfall is that it's a great idea on a terrible engine (Adobe AIR) that is scarcely capable of handling a game this complex. It runs bizarrely slow when many units are on the field.Still, if you want a strategy RPG that involves actually using strategy instead of stats for a change, this game shows higher-budget titles how it's done.. Really Boring tbh. Ive just begun to get into it and for me it is amazing but my sence of good and bad is unique i favour the poetic feel and the water color art amomg the other things that make me love this game.. Winter Voices is an ambitious game that has some unique and interesting ideas but its utterly mired by terrible game design and pretty pretentious writing for the most part. When it comes to the good, the game used to be buggy as hell from what I hear, but it’s fairly stable now. The idea that you run away from enemies is a neat one, but it’s way too easy to utterly gimp yourself build-wise and the later game encounters are horribly designed to point that it can make the game unwinnable, even if you’ve been using a really good build up till that point. The atmosphere is really good and the soundtrack complements it well; there's a real bleak and lonely tone that permeates the game. It also has an interesting world inspired by Norse mythology that maintains ambiguity whether or not there is anything supernatural going on. The writing when it comes to characters is alright too, it’s just the narration and the dream world that are bad. Though it also really does fall into some bad clichés (Let’s have our female protagonist get almost r*ped twice guys!) . Overall there is some quality stuff here that I liked that kept me playing until towards the end of Episode 4 but the negatives eventually dragged the game down. They really should have just made it an adventure game.. This game is quite different from the usual. It's a turn based RPG heavily focused in the story. The story can sometimes be quite confusing, as you play the role of a girl that lives as much in her dreams as she does in her real life. If you decide to embark in this journey, you'll find a moving and deep story that's totally worth it.I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and even if you're not too keen on the combat style there are a few posts in the boards with builds that make it a lot easier.So Winter Voices is not fast paced, action packed or modern looking, but for me the touching story is good enough that makes it up for it. With the game being free nowadays there is no excuse not to try it, imho.. This game is quite different from the usual. It's a turn based RPG heavily focused in the story.

Pro:- Art, sound and atmosphere are great.- The "combat"-system is quite original – weird, but enjoyable after you got into it.- The story is nice, but a bit overstretched for my taste.Con:- This game lacks balancing, bug fixing and suffers from clunky controls.- Somewhat slow movementWhen the negative aspects made me dump this game the first time, the awesome atmosphere made me come back. Then I resigned a second time due to some annoying bugs. Now half a year is gone, and I still wonder whether I should give it another try. That means something since normally I don't even give games a second chance. But the atmosphere ... it just hooked me.So I recommend this game for the experience, but be warned of all the frustration that's waiting for you.
