The short answer
If you remember speaking into a microphone and putting your own voice into a scene, the game may be Voxalike or The Choicer Voicer. If you remember typing a replacement line on a phone and hearing text-to-speech perform it, that points more strongly to What The Dub?!
These games share the fantasy of rewriting a movie-like scene, but the input method, platform, party structure, and custom-content workflow are different.

Features can change as Voxalike and The Choicer Voicer develop, so use the linked first-party pages at the end of this guide for the newest build details.
Choose Voxalike when you want a free browser game
Voxalike is the quickest route when the goal is to open a link, use a real microphone, and play without installing a desktop game. It supports Single Player, online Co-op, and online PVP. Workshop packs provide playable scenes, while compatible local packages can be imported into the browser.
The recorded performance is central: you hear the source line, perform it, replay or retry the take, and continue until the browser assembles the completed scene. It is a strong match for searches such as “dubbing game online,” “voice acting game online,” and “online dubbing game with friends.”
Choose it if:
- everyone can use a modern browser and microphone;
- remote friends need a private online room;
- you want spoken performances rather than typed jokes;
- a free public-alpha game is acceptable;
- Workshop packs and browser-local export fit the session.
Choose The Choicer Voicer when you want a downloadable mic game
The Choicer Voicer also centers on recording your own voice into scenes. Its official itch.io page lists Windows and Linux downloads, local play for one to four players, and a pay-what-you-want price starting at $5. It is a better match if you remember installing a standalone game and playing locally around one computer.
The official page describes the current release as an early alpha and calls out microphone compatibility as an area that can require care. It does not list online multiplayer, macOS, or Chromebook support. Check the current file list and notes before buying for a specific device.
Choose it if:
- you want a downloadable Windows or Linux title;
- local microphone play is more important than online rooms;
- supporting the developer through itch.io suits you;
- your group is comfortable with an early-alpha build.
Choose What The Dub when you remember typing the joke
What The Dub?! is a different party loop. The official Steam listing describes missing dialogue in clips that players replace by typing text on a phone, tablet, or computer. The game then plays the submitted line with text-to-speech, and the group votes for a favorite.
Its party structure supports one to six players and an audience of up to twelve. It includes more than 600 clips. The result feels like a movie-dubbing party game, but you are writing the line rather than acting it into a microphone.
Choose it if:
- the remembered controller was a phone or browser text box;
- text-to-speech delivered the submitted joke;
- local/shared-screen voting was the main activity;
- you want a finished paid party title rather than a browser alpha.
Use the detail you remember to identify the game
Ask one question at a time:
- Did you speak or type? Speaking suggests Voxalike or The Choicer Voicer; typing suggests What The Dub.
- Was there an install? A direct website suggests Voxalike. An itch.io Windows/Linux download suggests The Choicer Voicer.
- Were friends remote? Online room codes and Co-op/PVP point to Voxalike.
- Did everyone vote on typed jokes? That is the What The Dub format.
- Did you export your recorded scene? That fits the mic-driven games more closely.
