This is a conditional recommendation. While seasoned point-and-click adventure gamers may find a significant percentage of the puzzles and dialogue obnoxious, and I did encounter a few minor glitches, the game is visually and aurally a work of art with a compelling story. You can really see all the love that went into it. Pros: -Definitely a memorable game and story. In its best moments, it is like playing through a wonderful fairytale book. -Gorgeous, incredible, hand-drawn artwork. Some of the scenery is among my favorite in adventure gaming, and I've played this genre for decades. -Beautiful music. I will listen to the soundtrack while doing other things. -Some excellent animations and cutscenes. -Some of the puzzles are good or even great. -Some of the characters and dialogue are legitimately funny, and some interactions between the protagonist and his pet are touching. -The voice acting for MOST characters is actually very good. Cons: -Some glitches. (See the end of this review for troubleshooting notes.) -Some puzzles are nonsense that you will probably need to brute-force. No big deal if you're the type to try everything to experience more dialogue/animations/etc., but annoying if you prioritize logical puzzles. -Other puzzles are reasonable, but their hints are too obvious. -The protagonist's voice is annoying, and it's the one you hear most often. -Voice aside, the self-loathing protagonist took a long time to grow on me. For the first half of the game, I really didn't care for him. -Some animations are quite low in frame rate, which is odd, because others are very smooth. This disparity can be awkward. -A few dialogue branches remain available even after the progression of events makes them out-of-place. -The ending is polarizing. Some will like it, others will not. -Too much unnecessary "flavor" dialogue. Glitches (at least on my modern Windows 11 PC): -I couldn't get the game running in full-screen mode at 4k through the game menu itself, nor the Visionaire configuration tool. I ended up running it in a window and using the program Borderless Gaming to get around this, which worked like a charm. -When unplugging my headphones from the audio jack, all dialogue suddenly started auto-skipping until I restarted the game. -In some areas, the camera view is meant to auto-scrolls when you walk to the edge of the screen. However, in certain areas, the scrolling wouldn't activate until I hit alt+tab. -In one part of chapter four, I activated the solution to a "puzzle," but the game wouldn't process it until I used the same alt+tab trick. Overall: If you prioritize consistently reasonable puzzles with hints that are neither too obscure nor too obvious, and/or consistently meaningful well-written dialogue, you will probably find plenty to be annoyed by here, If you prioritize memorable, artistic gaming experiences like I do, The Whispered World is worthwhile, especially on sale. The hand-crafted beauty is just breathtaking at times, and I really want to play the sequel ("Silence') now.

I've only played the regular version before and it's an enjoyable point n click adventure from the "revival era" of the early 2010's. Art style is easily its strongest point, but animations are a bit to be desired tbh. Story is fine, but Sadwick's voice is a bit anoying though, sounds like Adam Sandler :D This Special Edition, from what I can see only adds voice comentary and achievements. Runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck straight out of the box.

I think its one of the best point and click adventures out there. Makes me happy everytime i play it. The music is amazing. Please play this game and finish it!!! Its worth it !

May 2025

The game has great visuals (for the time) and art style. Great music. However, it is an old-school adventure, and I would highly recommend having the guide walkthrough during the game.

May 2025

This is a cute and funny puzzle solving game that, in the end, turns out to be a very touching story. All mouse controlled, a plus for me. You just have to learn how to use the mouse in the beginning by holding the left click long enough to bring up the mini-menu on an item. It may seem simple enough to solve the puzzles, but honestly I don't see how anyone can play it without the use of a guide.
