LMAO, the English voice acting is terrible.

Be competent next time. Refunded.

The voices are great.

Does it have french voice with english subtitle?

[Ambler]

The game only has English voice acting so I don't know what Astrydax is talking about.

The fact is the voice acting is pretty poor, particularly for the main character who gives one of the worst performances I've ever heard in a game. His incongruous American drawl and emotionless delivery combined with often cringey dialogue ("you can pick your nose but can't pick your family" etc) kill the game for me.

And being an Indie is no excuse - LIS handled voices well and was also made by a small French studio.

The devs could still salvage this if they replace the actor in later episodes, because I doubt a voice coach would help. If not, maybe they will have at least learned a lesson that getting the basics right - voice acting, animations, story - is more important than tacking on clever RPG systems in the name of superficial innovation.

If this were an FPS game it wouldn't matter, but it's a story driven game where you have to sit and listen to tons of dialogue..... so..... they kinda need to nail that.

They didn't.

Nah they are fine jaques peru is pretty bad though I might consider just switching to french as it suites the story anyway

[CupCupBaconBox]

Yes, please at least let us have French with English subtitles. That might salvage the experience for a lot of people (I would re-purchase).

[Vinznt]

I would also love to have French with English subtitles ^_^

I think they are still in time. They just need to tell the main actor to deliver the lines with more emotional response and probably tell him what's the specific situation. Maybe he doesnt really know the context that well. And when the whole thing is finished they could repackage the whole adventure with a new VA if the funds are high enough.

[Dumb_Woof]

I thought it was great.

[iemander]

They're better than Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain at least.

I find English acting amazing and so well done developers don't feed a troll :]

[Lorentz Transformation]

I'm so into the acting. It's slightly campy and my heart beats extra hard for slightly campy.

Okay, well you're wrong, it's objectively horrible, and I'm not trolling. This is a genuine complaint.

The voices were fine but i guess you might be talking about accent of so called french people that have american accents. So if you're talking about that then i can see the Op's point.

I think the game has other failings but overall its not bad for a detective type game, tho i have played more complete cheaper games that offer more value for money. I felt this game was way overpriced for what little the episode offers and if they expect to sell more episodes then i suggest a longer storyline. Really this is about a 30 min game if you could skip past these cut sceens like most games offer, you'll have to sit through the same sceen just to make a different choice, and the save mechanism just slows the game down more. Its just a way to squeeze more hours into playtime going through the same motions.

Half the story is pointless diversion in my opinion, characters like George Washington and Elizabeth Adams are dead ends and im sure following anything these two offer just diverts you from you're real mission.
