That's understandable. :) I just finished my playthrough of it and I LOVED it! Sadly I don't know if the voice patch thing did anything different. I put it where I think it said to in the right place, but it never had my name voiced or anything. Still a good game though! Super heartwarming.

I'm happy you liked it ^^. If you couldn't hear it, sometimes you've gotta turn the voice volume higher and the music lower. The name line also doesn't play every time Cove says the MC's name, only occasionally. And did you choose the name from the screen or type in the letters of name that is an option? Typing it in won't set the voice. You've gotta go through the voiced name screen itself and pick it out from there. I hope that's helpful.
