About the game
Ever wondered what the internal struggle looks like in the mind of someone who just robbed a bank and is now facing a judge? In Voices In My Head, that's exactly where you are! The game places players in a surreal courtroom setting, where the battle isn't just between the prosecution and the defense, but inside the mind of the defendant, Guy.

While one player takes on the role of the prosecutor, determined to prove Guy's guilt and send him straight to prison, the other players embody different traits of the defendant's personality. You might be Honesty, trying to clear the guy's name, or Selfishness, playing for your own benefit. The goal is to achieve secret objectives, which adds a layer of tension since you never truly know who is helping or sabotaging the situation.

The dynamics unfold in rounds where the prosecutor presents evidence, calls witnesses, or grills Guy on the stand. To react, players fight for control over the defendant's actions using control markers on a three-dimensional game board representing Guy's brain. This 'cerebral dispute' is where decisions are made, swaying the jury's perception and ultimately deciding the final fate: freedom or incarceration.

Combining area control, hidden roles, and a generous dose of humor, the game transforms the courtroom into a psychological battlefield. Interaction is constant, and tension rises as pieces move across the 3D board, pushing Guy's consciousness from one side to another. Will honesty prevail, or will selfish impulses give the game away?
