The Whispered World: Special Edition

The Art is good, puzzles are challanging, and chapter 2 is perhaps one of the best segments in any Point & Click. The only thing that could've been improved is the voice acting.

Classic good game. It's really fun to play!

The biggest issue in this game (for neophytes) is that clues and hotspots are occasionally indistinguishable from mere beatiful background art. This leads to unfortunate pixel hunting because games gives you few hints and focus more on exploration and trial and error, wich lead to some scratching head points were you don't know what it's missing. Shame cause most of the time, Dedealic has done a great job to create a good solving clue for most of the puzzles. Graphically it's a deteailed, colorful, exaggerated, and wonderfully nuanced world in a great hand-drawn style and animation. The animated cutscenes are less impressive, but well executed. Great OST, wich set the right mood for every moment of this adventure, assisted by great ambient noise. The voice acting is less consistent in quality, expecially with Sadwick, wich anyway grows with the game: the more he advance in the story, is personality comes out loud and clear giving him a more unique one. His darker moments manage to be both hilarious and tragicomical. But let's be honest, it's pretty difficolt write well a fatalistic cynical child in such a realistic way. All other voices are well done and defined, wich serves most of the time as a functional puzzle solving veichle or characteristic gags. Overall dialogues are entertaining enough. The use of Spot as co-protagonist is simply brillant (expecially in one long puzzle), a beautiful active sidekick wich is integrant part of the adventure. His shapeform abilities are essential to solve many puzzles. Each transformation has his unique hilarious animated sequence. Story writing is really amusing, mixing comedy, tragic and seriousness. And i love how the ending is not a superficial cliché. Can't tell more or it became a spoiler. PS. last advice, better watch ending credits too, they'll add an additional point of view for many charatchers.

An enjoyable Point and Click with great art. Definitely avoided many tropes, though I found some of the puzzles/solutions nonsensical. The ending plot segment felt truncated. I understood what they were going for, but a few more paragraphs of dialog could have helped wrap the story. Received for free with Prime, so absolutely worth the price.

Sometimes you come across a game that, like every good indie title, is so good, you really feel the love its creators have put into it. This is such a game. It's beautiful, captivating and tells a wonderful story. But be advised that this is not humorous game but one with a deep thought provoking and very melancholy plot.
