When the fate of a world hangs in the balance, an unusual hero arises!

The visually impressive adventure-epic The Whispered World is now available as a Special Edition for the first time. Let the Whispered World enchant you with its many animated details and fantastic characters.

Sadwick's adventure begins when he sets out to understand the meaning of his recurring nightmares. In his dreams, he is haunted by a mysterious blue sphere as his world collapses around him. Shana, the oracle, confirms his worst fears: not only does she foretell the end of the world, but also that Sadwick is the very reason for their doom. Face the prophecy and experience an adventure unlike any other!

Exclusive content of the special edition includes an alternate ending, a tutorial, developers' commentary featuring Jan 'Poki' Müller-Michaelis and Marco Hüllen, as well as the in-game orchestral soundtrack, unlockable achievements, and re-polished graphics in some scenes.
  • Exclusive audio commentary featuring 'Poki' and Marco Hüllen, the game's writers.
  • Over 30 awards including “Best Story” and “Best Youth Game” at the 2009 German Game Developer Awards.
  • The Whispered World mixes fairy-tale elements with melancholic tones to create a tale of epic proportions.
  • High-quality 2D adventure game with hand-painted backgrounds and traditional hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation.

Nice atmosphere - Lacks FR in Special Ed

Hey daedalic, put back the French voices & subtitles. It's a pain for the youngsters who aren't fluent with English. Also, I don't like the ending :-)

Great game; bad voice acting.

The graphics, music, and gameplay are all very good in this game. The cartoon style is vibrant and the game animation is very smooth (although, strangely, the animation in the cutscenes between acts is less well done. The animation in them is choppy and the quality is just somewhat poor; one bad guy we see there is literally nothing but a badly drawn mouth). The gameplay is classic point n' click with some fun and challenging puzzles. HOWEVER... The voice acting (in the English version) is absolutely horrible. None of it is very good, but the main character is terrible... the worst. He sounds almost exactly like Adam Sandler doing his squeaky Waterboy voice. It's terrible. LUCKILY, the game has the option of turning off voices and going text-only. I actually liked that, and I assume most GOG usuals will too, but anyway you should be warned; I've yet to meet anyone who has ever made it all the way through this game with the voice acting turned to ON.

A game that has the shine of old days.

Be prepared for one of the best stories been told in computer entertainment. Be prepared for a mind-trip through concepts and puzzles that make you feel full. The main problem of adventures nowadays is not the graphics or the gameplay. It is the type of puzzles. Here you find puzzles that are embedded to the story, that are challenging. It is a game you will enjoy for one week or more. It is a game that brings you back to the Adventure.

Stupid, stupid ending

Yeah, intriguing story at first, great graphics, tough-as-nails puzzles you can solve with extra effort. Gets you to care about Sadwick and his worm. Gets you really worked up and excited for the climax. . . and then drops a stinking load of COP-OUT CRAP ON YOUR HEAD! Painfully, dreadfully cliche. For shame, for shame, for shame. Why do people still keep doing endings like this?
