Winter Voices Episode 2 is revealed as (surprise) the bonus game on Tier 2
Has anyone actually played Winter Voices? I've had my eyes on the series for quite some time but I've read mixed opinions on it and from what I gathered it has an interesting and original setting/story/premise but is slow and frustrating to play? Like some Steam reviewer writes "The game feels like the worst, grindiest parts of any Spiderweb RPG as written by Björk." :D
This is much better now for those that don't own but wanted Winter Voices;

" I see the Blink bundle revealed Winter Voices and Steam put the additional four episodes on sale at .49 cents each.
so if you buy the bundle, you get the base game, episode one and two. For another $2.00 you can buy the missing four episodes.."

~corrected

Of course, as spoderman pointed out, this bundle gets expensive once you add in all the dlc's for Winter Voices and Highborn (two dlc's at $3/per). That's a total of $13.00...

Nice one for gifting :p
oh, and pls note that foreigners must pay VAT (Germany and UK at last)
2nd tier is $6.04 - €4.48 with paypal for me
The Highborn DLC chapters are now 66% off on Steam. Makes the total cost of the bundle + Winter Voices/Highborn DLC about $9. Kind of expensive if you want everything. I mostly just want Winter Voices from this bundle.

EDIT: Well, rong44 had to be amazing and gifted me the Winter Voices episodes from the bundle.. I didn't even ask for them, pretty awesome of him.

7 dollars for the complete winter voices (including other games) I might pick this bundle
Skip. Don't like the idea of bundling incomplete version of games.

I'll just buy Groupees Luxor then.
nvm

I like it.

It is very slow, and I guess a lot of people will call it a bit pretentious (it kind of get caught up in itself a little bit too much at times...). It is at heart a point a click adventure, with very little interactions except talking to NPC's. I think you may even almost call it an interactive novel. Its pace is very slow.

Between talking to NPC's you have a RPG with turn based combat (if it can be called combat at times... ) The combat itself, and the skills, are based on psychology and psychological states, so you find yourself fighting Shadows of Doubt casting spells like Good Intentions. In the end, a lot of it is reskinned standard TBC, but it is refreshing to see a different approach. You level up and get skill points to place in main attributes, and you have a extensive skills tree for new spells.

The overall feeling of the game can be summed up as melancholic, and the art is gorgeous.

Thanks! How long do you think does it take to play through the entire series?

I really don't know, sorry... it is dependable on how you read on how much you explore. I guess it is possible to run through it fairly quickly (about an hour each chapter), but it is kind of defeating the purpose of the game.

Not that I disagree with you, but what's Groupees Luxor have to do with this bundle? ;)

Uh well, to be quite honest, I don't have unlimited budget. With so many choices (bundles, in this context) available, I have to spend on what I want and not on a whim anymore. It used, at least a year ago, to had been a very limited choices and so buying on a whim was kinda... allowed.
