Winter Voices reviews

Winter Voices-a mixture of adventure and roleplay, which takes place in the lost somewhere in the mountains of a snowy village. The World of Winter Voices is very conditional: neither the temporal epoch nor the exact place of action of history is known. The minimalist graphic style of the game contributes to the Conventions. This abstraction of the world allows us to concentrate more on the main heroine of the game, a 24-year-old girl who has just lost her father. When it comes to computer role-playing games, it is customary to talk about the system of dialogues, role-playing system, wagering roles and more. But, as a rule, never mentions the main thing, what, in fact, should allow us to choose a certain "role" that should determine our character as a person-it is psychology. When you play in Winter Voices, you unwittingly feel that all these years, the developers of role-playing games are a bit crafty, calling the system of choice of skills "role-based system". At its core, it's just a choice of what the hero gets best, it's just a choice of skills. And all these skills are almost always connected with the war. The Winter Voices Role-playing system is a truly unique approach to the expression of the inner world of man. There are no skills on archery or owning a double-handed sword. The Whole role-playing system is designed to define our character as a person, in fact we together with the heroine build her spiritual path, determine what the person it will become. We can be carefree and cheerful village weaver, and we can immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of cynicism and alienation from the world. The role-playing system in the game is simply is huge (and incredibly beautiful), the first half hour just want to examine and learn the "tree" skills. But even in Winter Voices, most of the time the game is played in a dream and awake, every time a character is subjected to any psychological impact. But fights here do not serve to divide the plot into parts or extend the playing time. They are closely intertwined in the history of the game and reveal the character of the heroine, because the fight is not with ordinary monsters, and, in fact, with its inner essence: hidden fears, bad memories and bitter truth. But the most important advantage of the game is that you believe it. Whether It is a huge text in the form of a stream of consciousness of the main heroine or surreal delusional location from a dream, all this does not seem to be a pusmental or artificial. In many respects due to the fact that all this is based on the psyche, spiritual manifestations of the protagonist. It should Be noted that all the text in the game is written masterfully, which contributes to immersion in the atmosphere. Winter Voices refers to the kind of games that either immediately fall in love and forgive her all the shortcomings (which is enough, mostly in the form of bugs), or remain in perplexity, as in this at all you can play. If you are not afraid of some meditative events and a large amount of text (often difficult to understand), it is certainly worth at least familiarize with this game. P.S. And Yes, about the soundtrack. It is just gorgeous and very in harmony with everything happening on the screen.
