A classic return to older adventures.

If you are like me you spent the early 90's enthralled playing games like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and even the classic Dragon's Lair. The Whispered World is an adventure game told through a very rich and vibrant art style that feels as though you're watching a classic cartoon. Motions and things are fluid, characters are well animated. the game follows Sadwick, an appropriate name as he's quite a downer, a kind of "glass is half empty" person. He's thrust into an adventure and you follow him on the journey. The voice acting is quite good, at first Sadwicks voice may annoy you, but once you get into the game and get to know the character the voice becomes quite fitting to him. The game has quite a bit of humor to it, from characters and situations you find yoruself in. It's a lighthearted game but with mature elements in it's storyline and characters. If you enjoy classic adventures, and miss those classic cartoon style adventures, this is the game for you. I recommend trying the demo at least, it's what got me hooked into buying the game at release on steam.

Cannot love this game.

I am a child of the point-and-click adventure and I just could not bring myself to like this game. I really wanted to. The art is fantastic - truly. The story is serviceable and definitely has it's moments of charm. The main character is unbearable, but I gather that's sort of the point. But as others here have mentioned, the puzzles are just ridiculous at times. There's a difference between challenging and illogical. The thing that killed adventure gaming (imo) was the trend of forcing the player to just keep combining random items until something happened, without anything in the game leading you to that answer. I can stomach being asked to trust that the banana peel must be tied to the rapier with length of cow intestine, but only if it's a conclusion of something explained in the game - not because randomly combining objects gives the devs a laugh. TWW is one you'll want to love, but I certainly couldn't. Good on you if you can.

Beautiful graphics; Frustrating puzzles

The artwork immediately caught my attention when I first saw The Whispered World. The animation immediately reminded me of the fantasy cartoons of the 80s that I grew up with (so there is a bit of nostalgia). The backgrounds are beautiful. The characters are interesting. It's not laugh out loud humor through the whole game but the game is humorous and fun. The story is interesting. I like how you know from the beginning that the world is ending and it will be by your hand. The ending took me by surprise and had me a bit emotional (not to spoil anything but having kids probably affected this). I also loved the music throughout the whole game. It was well done and fit the mood of the 80s fantasy. The voice acting is slightly above average, as well. Now, on to the negatives. The puzzles frequently didn't make a lot of sense. There were several times I had to look at guides and thought that I would have never had guessed that. They are not always logical. There are some (true) puzzles that you can skip, which is appreciated (I find I often don't have the patience for sliding puzzles so this was a nice feature for that time). But, the PnC puzzles often didn't make sense. With the occasional look at a guide, however, I still found enjoyment with this game and would recommend it for PnC players.

Maybe not the best but a classic

The Whispered World sets you onto a big adventure in a fantasy world, it's a classic point n click game with an interesting art style and majestic soundtrack. You play as Sadwick, a clown at the family circus, who is chosen to... uhh let's say save the world. He's a bit of an annoying character, but he does grow on you! With you, you have your best friend and sidekick Spot - he is a caterpillar. Along the four chapters you'll meet various characters, all unique in their own way. The gameplay is pretty standard for a point n click, there's mini game puzzles and fetching of items which you can then combine. However necessarily not a bad thing, as the focus here isn't on the gameplay but on the world and the story. Definitely recommending this epic saga, it truly feels like you travel through these lands as you play the game - not just moving from point A to B. I'm excited to see what the sequel has to offer!

Beautiful game: in true Daedalic style

Not much to say, also because I don't want to spoil anything ;-) Great story, great riddles (your head is going to hurt, but it is worth it), great atmosphere. Good interface, though it is style over functionality (luckily it's only point-and-click so it's not that bad). I can totally recommend it to anyone who is a point-and-click fan, especially Daedalic fans. For newcomers to point-and-clickers I maybe would recommend the Deponia series first (kickass story and better interface and a more linear difficulty progression).
