The Whisperer in Darkness

I was actually quite disappointed when I "played" this, because i expected a game. What it actually is, is a short re-narrated and modernised version of the original The Whisperer in Darkness fron H. P. Lovecraft. The only thing you're doing in this so called "game" is click to read further and walk as a 3pixel-person (more like totem) a few steps until the story continues,+ Don't get me wrong, I love text based adventures - but here you get text without adventure.

ES UNA TOMADURA DE PELO. DENUNCIADO A STEAM POR ESTAFA

Bu oyun, H. P. Lovecraft'ın The Whisperer in Darkness hikayesinden esinlenerek hazırlanmış. Bazı olayları özet geçmiş ve bir iki detayı değiştirmişler, ama olay örgüsü esasına sadık kalmış. Eğer hikayeyi okumadıysanız veya gözünüzde canlandırmak isterseniz almanızı tavsiye ederim. Açıkçası herhangi bir oyun öğesine sahip değil, yalnizca görsel roman.

Not a game but a visual telling of the HP Lovecraft story "the Whisperer in the Darkness" Well thought out concept and some of the art was fantastic. The "game" parts are quite cumbersome to the flow of the story. Overall though i was happy!

It's a fun little visual novel & pretty good adaptaion of the story, it can be finished in about an hour.

It's a good adaptation of the novella, but some of the changes are just baffling and don't work. I recommend it, but it'd be best to have a copy of the original source material at hand. Needs some work on the technical side, too. Returning from pausing the game will sometimes proceed the text, and because you can't read any prior text like in most modern VNs, you will find yourself quite confused.

Interesting and short visual novel (not really an interactive game) with a Lovecraftian theme. The graphics are weak but the writing is rather good, as is the music. If you like Lovecraft and just want to read something ominous, I recommend this game. If you're looking for more of an interactive experience, there are better Lovecraftian games out there.

Takes about 40 minutes to play through - not a lot of interaction but it is a pretty decent portrayal of a Lovecraft story. A decent purchase for people who are fans of his writing.

A more or less accurate retelling of the Lovecraft short story, let down by some ASCII style gameplay that really adds NOTHING to the narrative (if anything it drains tension from game that a straight up narrative approach might have maintained), and some kinda iffy artwork (yeah, yeah, it's totally subjective; I get that...) So, it's not perfect, but it'll only take ~half an hour of your time, and the original story is a classic for a reason, so this game is mildly recommended. Not bad but not great either.

A simple interactive adaptation of the novella of the same name by H.P. Lovecraft. (With slight modernizing elements, such as the protagonist of the story making use of computer and e-mails, which obviously didn't see as major use in the early 20th century). It's an interactive story, not really an actual game. Nevertheless, it uses both ambient music or in it's absence, complete silence, quite effectively. And later there's the option to resume the story at different parts, although I believe it's not that big of a task to go through the whole thing in a single sitting. At the end of the day, a faithful adaptation of the original story, which I would recommend a dedicated fan of Lovecraft to own.
