What Unheard is

Unheard is an indie game developed by NEXT Studio and released in 2019. It was published by 505 Games. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, iOS, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

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?
