Description
Investigate an abandoned trading post, explore its surroundings and solve the terrible mystery it holds. The Whisperer (Le Murmureur) is a short story-driven point & click game set in Lower Canada at the beginning of the 19th century.


Lower Canada, 1814. A trading post in a remote valley is found abandoned. The two winterers who inhabited it have disappeared. Robert, a voyageur of the North West Company, is tasked in investigating their disappearance. To find the truth, he will have to face horrors of all kinds...


Inspired by games such as Scratches and The Dark Eye, The Whisperer is an ode to the classic horror point & click subgenre. You will find the old school adventure features that we all love: puzzle solving, exploring, inventory, using and combining objects.



The Whisperer is a standalone game, but it also serves as a prelude to The Whispering Valley (2022). It is around 45 minutes long.

Frustration Sim

If I had to say something good about this game, I would say........at least it looks nice. Apart from that and maybe the atmosphere, this 30 min experience and is probably 5 to 10 mins of a game and 20 to 25 mins in pure frustration. This game does not hold your hand in any way so prepare for plenty of clicking finding out what works or not. Did I mention this was short because it really is? At least I got it for free so I'd probably be more harsh if I'd spent money on this.

Game, to me, was similar in ways to Myst

There is a creepy factor but it is minimal. Interaction with environment is very limited and you basically have to back-track trying different things out to see if it works. As another reviewer said, it did not really make sense to me what was going on. I had the hints activated, which gave me some backstory and context. There is a specific action you perform 2 times in the game that I'm not entirely sure why you are doing it. For me, it held my interest to some degree but finished it rather quickly but I did not connect all the pieces together fully so it was kind of like seeing a movie... one that ended and your not exactly sure what you just saw. - Graphics are good - Atmosphere is good For me this is a one-time play.

Short, and still I don´t get it

Finished it in under one hour, but got stuck for over 15 minutes in one place because the designers chose to make ONE piece of equipment used twice instead of once; also, there is - to me - no visible indication why of all places it has to be used exactly there. finally, the story about two brothers and then one lonely, rejected lover.. i don´t get where the connection is. so, yes, if it´s meant as a teaser for their full game, it´s well done. but it should be 1€ max, or rather be free.

Unintuitive and boring

Terrible controls and interface combined with very dull, dark, uninteractive environments make this an absolute chore to play. I thought I could tough it out for the thirty minutes it apparently takes to complete this prologue to The Whispering Valley, but it is absolutely not fun at all and is to be avoided. I'm sure the main game is just as bad too.
