Whispers in the Forest

I'm so torn on this game. On one hand, it's an amazing concept. Simple to grasp, very Kingdom-like, and it just scratches that itch of wanting to play a Kingdom-like game. But it barely scratches the itch. Unfortunately, on the other hand, some QOL things definitely needs to be implemented. Everything you do is sssssoooooo slow. And I mean everything from taking a stroll to creating a engineer. 10 days in and I still only have 1 rifleman. (They've been working on the same rifle for 6 days!) Meaning I can't last more than 10 days with 15 guys. I understand being a difficult game but the curve is so steep, you lose one building and it's basically game over. It takes 2 to 3 days to rebuild your wall (the wall restarts from scratch) plus getting all the materials for said building, you're overrun by then and have to start over. Maybe you do a little better next game but you're not making it past that 10th night. Overall, I fully believe this game should be more popular. Hopefully the game is more balanced by then. (EDIT!) I'm leaving my previous review just to show that the dev is listening to feedback. The fact that an update came out the day after my review is a fantastic sign (and I feel a little special, aheeheehee! (could be just coin-ka-dink)). In all seriousness though, I'm not really following the negative reviews. Granted, I'm not usually the one to play the demos (if I don't like it that much, I'll just return the game, it's pretty easy) so I haven't played this demo. I just thought it was a fantastic idea and went with it. AND I was looking for specifically a game like Kingdom, tags and all. I really don't get the hate, but I don't quite agree with responses from the dev as well. Video games are all about feedback from players/customers, and if they're paying almost 15 bucks for a supposed "more than demo game", I get the frustration. That being said though, the dev IS RESPONDING and I'm fairly certain it's probably one person. I don't make games but I'm sure it's pretty tough and time consuming. That to me forms the idea of, it's not a scam. Plain and simple. I mean there's a freaking road map on the store page for goodness sake! WTF! 😆 Other than a few more QOL changes, I fully believe this game can succeed.

The forest design is stunning and perfectly conveys the atmosphere of the game. The video showcasing weather changes was very impressive and seems quite different from the current version of the game. I’m eagerly waiting for the new update to experience those special effects. One thing that could be improved is adding an option in the menus to rewatch the Tutorials. I hope this gets fixed soon. Also, allowing the character to run would make defending the base, especially during attacks from both sides, much easier. Adding a Roadmap would be a great idea to provide a clearer vision of the game’s progress.

It could be great alternative to Two Crowns, but in this stage, way to jenky. My eyes hearts when Im moving in the game, even when I bought the full game, still got only access to demo version, likely just the bug, but its 2 days, cant use controler in the main menu, or it doesnt save your settings, broken AI. In this stage, very early to enjoy basic game loop, but keeping it in favorites and have a look in couple of months if there is any progress or its just another asset flip, but hope not with a lot of polish it could be a really fun game for starving fans of two crowns, especialy, if they add splitscreen.

I really like the art style of the game because it is creative. The lighting and shadows add so much to the atmosphere, especially when the lanterns cut through the fog. It makes the whole place feel unsettling in the best way. The creature designs are also super creepy, like something straight out of a nightmare. That said, I think the animations and environmental details could use some work. Some of the character movements feel a little stiff, and the world doesn’t always react the way you’d expect. Like, when you walk through bushes, they don’t move at all, and some enemy animations get a bit repetitive. If they polished those things up, the game would feel way more immersive.

It's a really interesting game, similar to Until We Die and somewhat like Two Kingdoms, but with much better graphics. The game isn't fully complete yet, but it seems like the developers release updates frequently. I've always found it exciting to see what new features will be added next.

This game is most likely a shady scam of some sort. The game's full version has the same content and everything locked just as it is in the demo. If you pay for a game's full version, you shouldnt see a message when playing saying "Not available in this demo". Im like wow...I am playing the full version....Ive been scammed. Also, the gamepad doesnt work in certain areas, and there is a dead zone issue/floating character thing going on. It also appears the dev is non responsive here, doesnt do updates at all, and has 0 ways to communicate with him such as discord etc. There is no carry over or metas. You lose all progress on death and the game play is one tiny area where you run back and forth collecting not enough resources....and die immediately. 1/24/25 UPDATE AND RESPONSE TO DEV COMMENT BELOW SINCE HE BANNED EVERYONE HERE WHO CALLED HIM OUT ON HIS SELLING THE DEMO AS A FULL GAME: Lol!!!! So when a bank or a court gives someone back their money after a crime or fraud was committed....it wasnt a fraud in the first place? Think before typing ok? And yes...free speech means I can, will, and do need to reply to whatever I want. Where I am from...in the US.... freedom of speech is important. I dont know where you are from sir, but if you arent able to ENGAGE effectively with other gamers and address their feedback....because you were dishonest and CAUGHT...thats your mistake. You should just apologize and not gaslight the people you did this to. I own thousands of games on Steam and many are challenging. All the From Software games are difficult and I have completed them all still. Their games have elements of permadeath too. But they also allow some sort of save feature or chance to recoup things through meta progression etc. Your game has none of that. So again...not thinking before typing...especially when you say welcome to a challenging game...lmao. A game that is an asset flip, sold as a game but was really the same demo, is not even at the challenge phase. Its not a complete SELLABLE game you see? So....losing all progress on death with no meta system...rinse repeat...same old same old....is a dev error. GL from here on out my friend.

has a really cool and dark and foggy atmosphere. The pacing feels a bit slow at times. Gathering resources during the day is interesting at first. Still, it’s a solid experience for anyone who enjoys a mix of strategy and survival with a creepy twist.

AT first the game seems to be very hard and kind of undefined, but as you start playing the difficulty will create an addiction to play more and more. The graphic is well designed and also the strategy is well defined. I recommend this game for those who are seeking for a new challenge and ideas. If you can bear difficult games that's right choice for you. Also you can find interesting facts and easter eggs while playing(not part of the tutorial).

Paid version has areas blocked off which says "not available in demo version" so it seems they are selling an unfinished game and might not have any intention to complete it. Can't shoot enemies who are shorter than your gun's level of fire. Cant access information from popups once closed so if you forget what a building or unit does, too bad. there's no wiki Overall I'd value it at $5, so, pay more at your own risk.
