The Whisperer in Darkness

Didn't expect it to be that great as it really was. Starting slowly and harmless and sucking you more and more into it. Very well written and worth the few bucks. Font size could be bigger, I have 4k resolution and am sitting 2m away from my tv. It's readable, but +50% in font size would be perfect.

This is not strictly a "game," per se, so much as it is an immersive retelling of one of H. P. Lovecraft's stories. It has been modernized somewhat, as laptop computers and email did not exist during Lovecraft's heyday, but being a fan of Lovecraft's work, I feel that this is an honest retelling. The music and atmosphere are very well done, and the ASCII art lends a certain imaginative charm not found in experiences with better graphics. If you enjoy thrillers, or the horror genre, I believe you will enjoy this.

Bonne et courte adaptation de la nouvelle du même nom de H.P. Lovecraft.

I'd rather read the original story. DIssapointed.

A good adaptation of “The Whisperer in Darkness”. It really adds a lot of interesting elements to the story that I really liked. The visual novel part of the game is recommended. It's the game play that leaves a lot to be desired. The "Atari Adventure" sequence at the end which is the only interactive aspect to the game was jarring to say the least and took me right out the "moody feel" it had established so well up until then. It seems like the developers felt they had to add a survival horror aspect to it but the 2600 pixel game mechanic didn't do it any service. The jump scare was cheap.

That was a great retelling of a classic, I was a little sad that we couldn't snoop around in Henry's house tho, I had looked forward to that.. Oh well!

As a man who is still yet to read the short story in which the game is based, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and look forward to what the developer will do next. I also had the pleasure of interviewing the developer for a project I was conducting at the time and he was very helpful indeed. I fully recommend this game to anyone who has an interest in Lovecraft’s stories or those who will enjoy a strange tale of the macabre.

Play this, it's worth playing once. Good story line.

good

This is simple but very well-made. The art is good and I got a bit of a spook at the end. Enjoyed playing it. Definitely a good adaptation of the story.
