About
Hearing Voices is a short horror puzzle experience about listening for clues in audio tapes and piecing them together to figure out the message.

You play as Luis Edno, a highly qualified audio analyst. You will need to rely on your ears and problem solving skills to decipher heavily scrambled communications from the enemy. But the tapes are hiding something else.
Listen Closely
You heard something different in the tape. Was it static? Was it a voice? Or were your ears playing tricks on you?
Decipher The Message
Did the voice say 'someone', 'summon' or 'salmon'? What message were they trying to send?
Avoid Paranoia
You can't brute force anything at this desk. Every mistake you make sends you further into paranoia.

Immerse yourself in a dark, creepy aesthetic with hand-drawn art. Solve unique audio-based puzzles. Experience the thrill of going through terrifyingly creepy audio tapes while trying to focus on the message hidden underneath the terror. Embrace yourself for this unique, tightly paced audio horror experience.

very good concept and mechanics and was terrifying
A simple mechanic, but a very intense game! For horror fans looking for a quickie!
What the f***, what a nice trip! I had a bit of a hard time with two of the tapes since I’m not (that) fluent in English... But if I can do it, anyone can! The reward is a unique gameplay design that I’ve never experienced in this form before. As for the art style, suffice it to say that the hand-drawn style fits very well with the gameplay. The sound and music design deserve special mention: Each tape has different ambient sounds and different voices; you listen intently and with focus, yet it makes you feel uneasy. With each subsequent tape, you feel more and more uneasy and threatened by this seemingly unknown danger. The story is well told; the ending may come as little surprise to horror veterans, but it still makes you reflect on the entire experience. The gameplay mechanics are simple, but figuring out what’s right is all the more difficult. Jump scares (quality/frequency): 5/10 (Not that scary… how often? Depends on how good you are at the game ;) Psychological horror: 8/10 (It’s all about the story and where the madness is headed) Violence & gore: 0/10 Paranoia & loss of control: 0/10 Creatures / supernatural elements: 0/10 Storytelling done in a creative way!

Quick but enjoyable!
This is my first time leaving a review for a game on Steam but this game is absolutely deserving of it. The game is short and the controls are simple, which lets you get right into the game. The sound design is incredible, which is good given that's the bulk of the game, and genuinely made my chest feel tight at times. I'd urge anyone give the game a try especially given it is free.
a short and sweet game for a late night to unwind! audio tapes were well made and really carried a terrifying, spooky, atmosphere! premise of the game is really simple to understand too!- listen to a short recording, mark out garbled but possibly intelligible speech, then unscramble the recording... the challenge lies more in being able to mark the segment of audio with speech correctly, as some of the tapes have a lot of static and white noise that may or may not sound like voices... and also, if it weren't for the preset words a segment could be- it would have been very hard since sometimes the speech really didn't sound like the word at all, but it could just be my clinically diagnosed impaired hearing @.@ unscrambling part and identifying the words aren't too hard as 2-3 possible words are given per segment identified, and based on contextual understanding... there's only really one possible option to use! or perhaps i was just unexpectedly good at that part <w> but! i do feel like the options could have been more appropriate so that it'd be less of a giveaway... in any case, an interesting and clever idea with a great execution! definitely well worth the time experiencing~ i do like the micro story hidden within it as opposed to unrelated tapes :> i wonder if there would be a more elaborate game building on this concept upcoming in the future, it does remind me of Unheard, except the only relationship between them is the replaying of tapes or audio, and trying to piece together understanding of them...
Great
круто, но некоторые слова прям рандом, без знания языка играть толку нет
A great example of the type of job that AI SHOULD replace.
Gratuitous jumpscares don't make a horror game good.
