    While sold as a point n' click adventure, the gameplay is essentially you going back and forth through the same corridors. Very slowly. That is until you are forced to perform a series of delicate maneuvers on a deadly timer.

    It would have benefitted from quicker movement through most of its areas, and perhaps a little more challenge to its puzzles. Despite these issues though, its characters, scenery, and atmosphere are good enough to carry the game.

    Whispering Willows has an engaging story and superlative production quality, but fails to build on its strengths, eventually becoming an exercise in drudgery due to its insipid quests and irritating game design.

    An enjoyable adventure with intriguing puzzle elements and open-world structure (without a map).
