    Between the spooky shadows at the edge of the screen, the creepy sounds that emanate from every darkened corner and bush, and — most importantly — the sinister soundtrack that's constantly, persistently moving forward, this game knows what it takes to leave you feeling seriously unsettled.

    Whispering Willows is an interesting adventure game that is over much too quickly. The story takes some time to get going, and the pacing is a bit slow throughout. Just as things start to get exciting, the end credits are soon rolling. The game mainly falls flat and never achieves to be anything more than a pleasant ghost story.

    The combination of a horribly slow pace and a lack of any true puzzle difficulty makes the entire three-hour campaign feel like one massive fetch quest, only there isn’t a grand payoff once said quest is complete.

It is female-friendly, and great for casual gamers. The art is stunning, and the duality of the story is unique and fascinating. Yes, the puzzles may not be very complicated, but the payoff is in exploring the world and learning the story, not solving any one puzzle. Highly recommend!… Expand
