Gameplay
Voices of the Void is a first-person horror simulation video game. The player controls a scientist sent to an isolated Swiss observatory administering machinery that detect and analyse radio signals from space. The player is given tasks each day to complete, which constitute operating the physical buttons of the observatory's computer terminals. Physical drives are used to store the data of a signal and transfer it between terminals.
While operating the observatory, the player needs to manage their hunger and sleep. Machinery can also break, reducing the observatory's processing power and possibly requiring physical repairs from the player. When the player completes tasks, they are given points that serve as currency for buying items like food and upgrading machinery.
In the process, the player may experience unusual events, such as deadly weather events and encounters with extraterrestrial life.
