About
👻 A unique cooperative horror RPG
Whispers in the Dark is an online horror game where you manage a paranormal agency. With your teammates, explore haunted locations, gather clues, and face terrifying entities. Your progression relies on an innovative research system that expands your Codex, skills, and equipment.
📚 A research system that changes everything
Missions → unlock new maps and paranormal cases.
Skills → develop your abilities and unlock new tools.
Entities → study and identify the 12 ghosts, revealing their sensitivities and curses.

Earn experience and spend skill points.
Customize your playstyle (investigator, tool specialist, hardened survivor).
Equip up to 8 skills to create a unique role within the team.
🔧 Evolving equipment
Use a wide range of tools (EMF, candle, ghostly book, UV camera, etc.).
Each item comes in three qualities: cheap (fragile), good (reliable), or excellent/legendary.
Rare artifacts like the Montserrat Crucifix can turn the tide of a mission.
🏚️ Co-op horror with replayability
Each investigation is different: phenomena, behaviors, and clues vary with your choices and progression.
Survive, banish, or seal the entity within its hearth (fetish object)… if you can.

Holy crap they did not mean to release this today. Unplayable game. 1. Fullscreen settings don't work. I was playing in windowed the whole time. 2. Audio glitch, can't mute in game friends, can't lower in game volume for team speak. And everytime we load into the game the last thing we say before the game starts is on repeat. So the ingame talking doesnt even work all i hear is my cousin saying "nevermind, nevermind, nevermind" 3. Store doesnt work, cant buy any items. Once you die you lose all items and will never get them back. 4. Theres only 2 maps. It'll give you locations all over the US but you can only play on 2 houses. I'm def refunding this until they release the full product or drop a massive patch update this weekend.
Enter a haunted house. Walk around. Find a purse and steal it. Suddenly hear a scream. Receive an achievement for eliminating a ghost. I guess the ghost got a heart attack.
I love this game. It is fun and it stands out aginst other games. I love the RPG aspect of it and the way it works. I HIGHLY recommend this game for anyone looking for a break from the cookie cutter ghost hunting games.
A very interesting and different approach in the Ghost Hunting Genre of games. An RPG Ghost Hunting game with many things to do and enjoy in this one. An absolutely Diamond .... https://youtu.be/HFSwrgx7xwY
The game, as a whole, is phenomenal in my opinion. I absolutely love the RPG aspect of the character leveling and ghost researching. My 1 and only suggestion would be to include Hotkeys for flashlight or assignment screen as this would be very helpful so as to not take too much focus away from the actual investigation. The only real problem I had last night was my keybind wasn't saving, but it was quickly patched thanks to the developer. Thank you very much for that quick response! I so look forward to playing more and letting others know about this amazing game!
Very buggy and unplayable. Not ready for early access. It also uses the same houses/buildings from other ghost hunting games.
Do you like Paranormal Investigators? Do you like RPG's? If you answered "yes" to any of those than this is the game for you! ~How so? you might ask, Dark is a fast paced paranormal investigator with dash of Rpg elements infused into a delightful package of fun. You begin by selecting you character class. Each class will have its own specialties and stats . as you level up, you will earn skill points you can use to improve your stats, allowing you to unlock other classes skills. for example, you might be an equipment expert but wish to start dabbling in the occult. you can research the Demonologist class and begin putting skill points into that stat and begin unlocking new equipment to use. There's a handful of classes you can choose from and study. Investigations are fun and are quick. Ghosts possess signiture abilities and can harm you physically & mentally. You can research entities you have encountered and improve your knowledge on them. Maps are not huge and feel nice to navigate. overall, if you wanna play something unique, this certainly hits the mark
literally unplayable! tutorial won't even explain anything and items just bug out. had to "alt + f4" because the game wouldn't let me end the session. had real potential, but the "devs" apparently didn't care enough...
This game is far from complete and very unplayable at the moment. Hopefully they will improve the game play.
A fuir , je poste peu souvent des avis et me fais jamais rembourser les jeux mais la .. C'est du foutage de gueule , le jeu n'est pas finis , il présente (sur le papier) un gameplay sympa mais il est tout autre en réalité et je vais exposer les points ici : Points négatifs : - Multijoueur bug , le de décors passe a travers les murs , glitch , disparaît . - Gameplay lent et répétitif au bout de 30-40min de jeu , vous êtes sur la map , vous courrez partout a la recherche d'indice (qui sont juste des cliquables avec un petit texte "Machin est mort ici et je suis triste" puis une apparation au bout de 5min , genre animation et vous ne pouvez plus bouger . - Les preuves ne sont même pas des preuves , si l'EMF fais 2 , c'est bon. Vous voyez l'entité , c'est bon, vous avez finis la mission. - L'apparition du fantôme au bout d'un moment vous tue , vous voulez fuir ? Non non vous êtes juste mort instantanément et cerise sur le gateau , pas de mode spectateur pour voir vos copains jouer , juste vous voyez le plafond. il fait sursauté la première fois , première apparation et voilà . Points Positifs : - Le Gameplay type RPG pourrait être un véritable atout , si toutefois c'était utile car pour le moment , bon .. - C'est tout . Résumé , passer votre chemin pour 10€ , j'aime soutenir les développeurs indé mais arretez de nous sortir des jeux a moitié abouti dans l'espoir qu'ils fonctionnent .
