- Steam Awards Voting Begins! - 24 November 2021
The narrative of The Vale: Shadow of the Crown is bold, innovative, and detailed. The story is packed with emotional plot twists, gripping scenes of intense action, and meaningful emotional stakes. The performances by top-tier voice actors are bolstered by cinematic audio. The focus and intimacy of the dialogue and soundscapes are heightened by the lack of the visuals, culminating in a sense of unique immersion that has seldom been experienced in video games. So please, cast your vote for The Vale for Outstanding Story-Rich Game.
