A Whisper in the Twilight: Chapter One

This wonderfull game gives off a Myst vibe and it feels good. It looks teriffic and absorbes you completely in the game. Definitely worth your time and money, I personally can't wait to find out what will happen next to Zory, so let's hope it's not a long wait for chapter 2.

Whistling really helps. 10/10

I'd rate a 9/10. Here's why (spoiler free)... First, I have to say that since this is not a big budget game, my rating doesn't reflect graphics or texture glitches. It looks good, and yes there's a few glitches along the way, but what made that not matter was the story! This game has such a well thought out and deep narrative that I couldn't help but think about it even while I wasn't playing (the graphic novel was a nice touch as well). Also, the environments were really interesting. In fact, now that I've finished, I'm realizing there's quite a bit that we'll probably come back to in later chapters. And I have to say, the sound design was absolutely fantastic. If you have a good pair of headphones, use them! Now for the puzzles... I prefer puzzles in games that add or complement the narrative being told, and there was definitely a good bit of that. However, there were two puzzles that I had to look up. The first was due to its design. I correctly guessed what I needed to do, but at first, it didn't look possible due to the camera angle. The other (last puzzle) felt out of place. Unless I missed it, there's no hint in the narrative or the environment for how to solve it. And even if there was, you can't backtrack to see if you missed any clues. That's not necessarily a bad thing because being unable to backtrack seemed to fit the story. But after looking up the solution, I felt like the way in which the puzzle needed to be solved missed an opportunity to complement the story. It was actually the only "trial and error" puzzle in the game, which is why it felt out of place for me. Aside from those couple nit picks, I'm excited to see where this goes in future chapters! If you're into games that drop you into a story-rich world where it's up to you to figure out its mysteries (Myst, Riven, Obduction, Quern, etc), then I highly recommend A Whisper in the Twilight.

A wonderfully atmospheric game, set on an alien moon colonized by humans in the distant future and now facing environmental and social meltdown. Puzzles are many and varied, and very satisfying to solve (top tips: search everywhere, read everything, ignore nothing). Playing on an ultrawide screen, the only hiccup I encountered was in the final puzzle, which temporarily needed -windowed on the game launch options to solve. Looking forward to the next chapter, as Zory tries to save Hippalectryon.

A short but VERY engaging story unfolds here in the first chapter. I admit I got a little stumped but that's part of the experience. I was looking for something to scratch that itch since myst and quern, and this does a good job! Btw, the creepy part did terrify me XD

Ok. First twenty minutes into this game and my first review here on Steam. The story seems very interesting and above all original. The Sound Design is simply impeccable and completely transports the mind into the game world. The Voice Acting is also excellent (personally I pay a lot of attention to this aspect in games because I am a Voice Actor myself). The graphics are excellent and for now I appreciate the Level Design, also this rather original. It is clear that there has been a considerable "manual" work. I run the game on Win 11, 32 Giga RAM. The loadings are fast and fluid. Nothing to say about it. The negative aspect, for now, is only one: it is not possible to set the mouse speed, which I personally find slightly too fast. For now I give a five-star rating, but I reserve the right to change my opinion if the game does not maintain these premises. I will update this review as soon as I have acquired more gaming experience.
