    Whispering Willows has really been improved on PS4 with better graphics and FPS. Play as Elena, a girl who can astral project her spirit and talk to ghosts. Explore the Willows Mansion and try to find her lost father. Beautiful game, glad to buy it a second time.

    Great story. Lush graphics. Spooky soundtrack. You'll get lost in it for sure as you try to puzzle your way out of the mansion. Remindful of some classic MUDs even. A very different kind of game to add to your collection.

    Like the female protagonist, Elena. Cool graphics, especially if you are into graphic novels and/ or horror/ mystery. Elena's ability to leave her body to interact with ghosts is very cool (female Ghostbusters, anyone?), and the game has kind of Tim Burton feel to it.

    Whispering Willows has some beautiful 2D art, a great story, fantastic audio, and compelling gameplay! Also the dynamic Playstation 4 theme is awesome!

    Great game with simple mechanics. Really easy for the casual gamer to pick up. What it may lack in complexity, Whispering Willows makes up with amazing art and immersive story. Definitely worth getting to have a fun play-through and just get lost in the world for a few hours.

    The game has a very nice art style and the audio works really well. The only thing that drags it down for me was the gameplay, it was fine for the most part but it could've been better. Also the ending wasn't the greatest in my opinion but overall it was a small game that, if on sale, would definitely recommend getting.

    Not a bad game, but besides the hedge-maze area there's not much about this game worth remembering, and its not a very pretty game to look at. 59/100

    I really liked this game. It has some nice puzzles and the story is good too (and very creepy, which is great in my opinion)

    I’d be remiss if I recommended Whispering Willows to anyone without letting them know that, though it tells a nice little story, it comes up mightily short as an entertaining game.

    One of the surprising weaknesses of Whispering Willows is the fact it is so story focused.

    Whispering Willows is a tale to tell around a campfire, and a good tale. Short, but intense, and interesting mix of graphic adventure and exploration.
