Brilliant visual story of one of H.P. Lovecraft's creepy tales, which I thouroughly enjoyed playing. It has been modernized so makes it just that bit more creepy too (nothing more creepy than emails being sent from your email address when you never wrote them). Unfortunately the resolution was small and so was awkward to read, however the dev is working on improving this.
-It is short (played in under 1 hour) but is something I would definately come back to again.
-It has great use of music and sound effects that complemented the story.
-Simplistic design and great artwork help you visualise aspects of the story, whilst leaving enough to use your own imagination.. It is an unfortunate set of circumstances that led to the purchase of this game, the main one being a severe lack of media for the average Lovecraft fan outside the literature by the man himself\u2013 which, once exhausted, leaves little to satisfy the growing need for Cosmic Horror, and that bubbling, exciting feeling of dread that the old man seemed to produce so easily. The exact failures of other adaptions is a story for another time. Suffice to say that after searching through the existing works I have found few that lived up to my enjoyment of the original works. After playing 'The Whisperer in Darkness' I'm sad to say, my search continues.
If you have read the original story, this is not the game for you. It adds little to what is already there, save a few interesting visuals, which would have had more impact if not for the strange mesh of styles throughout the game. I hesitate to even call it a game, really. With the exception of a few short episodes there is hardly an interactive element, and those elements mostly consist of walking from one room to another.
That's not to say that this was an entire waste of time. The music was well done (definitely wear headphones, should you choose to play this), and like I said some of the visuals were good. Had the artist stuck with one style, perhaps closer to the one originally advertised (not that I'm BITTER) then I would have been more satisfied. If you've not read the original story and perhaps, for whatever reason, tend to prefer visual novels to others, then this might be good for you. Bear in mind there is still a helluva lot of reading so if your patience wears thin easily you might not enjoy it. But then if you don't like reading you probably haven't read through this horrendous review... Oh well.
In short, potential players should be aware that there is not a lot to this game except reading and mood-setting. If you are looking for an interactive horror game you'd be better of taking your business elsewhere.. It's a good adaptation of the novella, but some of the changes are just baffling and don't work. I recommend it, but it'd be best to have a copy of the original source material at hand.
Needs some work on the technical side, too. Returning from pausing the game will sometimes proceed the text, and because you can't read any prior text like in most modern VNs, you will find yourself quite confused.. It's a short gamebut worth it. I do have to say that I found it quite unsettling, which is good ;). Great visual novel that pays respects to H.P. Lovecraft.. Short but sweet. Good adaptation..

This is a good adaptation of Lovecrafts\u2019 original \u201cThe Whisperer in Darkness\u201d story. It\u2019s a very short visual novel with a bit of simple gameplay, and both art style and BGM are so eerie. I honestly hope that the developers will make other VNs based on more classic horror stories!
