A fun and creative little story. I enjoyed the atmosphere or the game and small bits of humor in the dialog. It would be cool of this was a few episodes longer.
A short and sweet story, only takes about an hour to get through. If you like walking simulators you should check it out.
Nice, short game that's very atmospheric. Fun dialogue. Loved the old time period setting!

Decent free little walking sim. Just the movement especially with collisions is a bit clunky.
Clunky controls, no mystery, no puzzles. Just a walking sim, which would be fine if they labeled it as such. Never did finish it because the final 'fight' I couldn't click any of the bottles to grab them. The controls only worked a fraction of the time. Cute visuals and it's free so grab it if you want, but I can't really recommend it given how little the controls actually do what they need to do.
Loved the art style and music. The setting’s really cool too, and I was excited for a Prohibition-era mystery, sadly that's not what this is. The gameplay itself was rough. Movement felt clunky and jittery, to the point it actually made me motion sick (and that never happens to me, even with VR). The controls were weird and inconsistent, with awkward interaction prompts. Some parts, like finding items or knowing where to go, were frustrating because things blended into the environment or weren’t clear. The stealth section was pointless and didn’t work well, and the sudden shift into combat with a werewolf just felt out of place for the kind of game it seemed to be at first. The story started strong but got rushed and random, with too much info dumping and no real buildup to big moments. Technical bugs like getting stuck on stuff, disappearing weapons, and weird cutscene glitches didn’t help either. That said, I really liked the visuals, characters, and vibe — just wish the gameplay and story stuck to a slower, mystery-driven experience instead of trying to add stealth and combat where it didn’t fit.
Oyundan aksiyonlu bir şeyler beklemeyin arkadaşlar. Oyun bir "Walking Simulator". Güzel manzaraların tadını çıkartmanız ve oyunda bulunan birtakım çiçekleri toplamanız üzerine tasarlanmış. Kafa boşaltmak için tercih edebileceğiniz oyunlardan. Oynanabilirlik süresi 2-3 saat bu arada :)
A Murmur in the Trees, Honestly I didn't particularly enjoy this game, the premise was intriguing and I personally didn't mind the lack a voice acting with it's thought bubble style dialogue, it's a free game after all, but for me the clunky controls just made this whole experience rather unpleasant from start to finish! Overall, I wouldn't recommend trying this game as I really didn't like how clunky the game felt to play! Solid 5/10
