Spent 30 mins trying to convince Stella I was talking to her through a microwave. She didn't believe me at first, and even started to get angry with me not taking her seriously. I proceeded to explain to her that I truly believe she was a sentient microwave, she got angry and escaped the pod herself. 10/10 *Edit* Told Stella I ate surströmming and stinky tofu, and a suicide hotline warning appeared 20/10

This is a tough review to write. The developers seem very torn about what they want users to experience here. They advertise it as a dating sim, even highlighting content creators who try to seduce the protagonist, but most attempts to do that will end in failure during actual gameplay. They advertise it as "choose your own adventure," but there are only two actual decisions you can make that affect the final outcome. They advertise it as a "game," but it's closer to an AI companion simulator with no real gameplay to speak of. All that said, the experience is unique, and Stella is usually fun to talk to. If they open it up so she's not so restricted, it might be a much more interesting experience.

I liked Whispers, but it really feels like a bit of a lost opportunity.. This game is fairly priced for what you get - an interesting and fairly unique (at least at the time of writing this) game in which you speak directly to an AI space student named Stella who has crash landed on the planet Gaia. As you "play" the game, you can potentially learn more about the crew Stella was a part of, and eventually try to help her get off the planet and back to civilisation. The AI voice generation is excellent - 99.9% of the time, Stella will respond to anything you say in an intelligent and insightful way. She even understands when you're joking, even when I'm indulging in the most egregiously dry, sarcastic British humour. In general, the big pull of this game is the immersion you get from imagining what it would be like to suddenly get a distress call from someone stranded on an alien planet. Occasionally you do get to make choices and/or solve puzzles on Stella's behalf which I guess can shape the story in some way, but in general the game is fairly linear. She can also die if you're not carefully, so there are actual stakes involved in what you say to this stranded woman. The game is fairly priced, and I'd say it's worth a buy before we inevitably get 600,000 clones of this type of game dumped onto Steam and everyone is sick of them. However, I do have some criticisms of this title - some unfair but worth mentioning, some not: 1. Sometimes the AI misinterprets what you say depending on your accent or how drunk you are, and Stella will then ramble on about the wrong thing she thinks you said while you squirm in your chair as the conversation goes a bit weird for a couple of minutes 2. Occasionally the game stutters to a halt narratively, and it becomes clear that the game is refusing to progress the plot until you have asked/said a requisite number of things to Stella. Basically, the game doesn't seem to give a damn what you say to Stella in any given scene - it's just waiting for you to "interact" with her a set number of times before it will let you move on and have Stella suddenly say "oh look at that!" or "hey I just had a great idea!". This does make the whole experience with Stella feel more synthetic, which is not what you want. 3. Finally, and this is the big one in my opinion, the whole game feels like it doesn't lean into its strengths. The best example I can give is this without heavy spoilers: without going into detail, there is a point in this game where Stella begins freaking out, and it's essentially up to you to calm her down and get her through some danger. The absolute best part of this is that Stella continues to respond to anything you say to her, but in a scared, fraught voice. It is incredibly immersive, as for most of this game (sadly) you are chatting to Stella as if you're both having brunch in South Central LA or something, so having these dramatic moments would really make the game. Unfortunately, there are very few of these emotional moments in the story, and this is the missed opportunity of Whispers. They clearly had the AI voiced trained on how to sound scared and sad, so why didn't they use this mechanic so much more? How hard would it have been to have Stella respond to your conversation in an angry way? Depressed? Determined? As it stands in this game, 95% of the time Stella's default disposition is "cheerful and chatty" which is fine, but this woman is stranded, alone, on an alien planet from which she has little idea how to get off. Given the stakes, I would have really liked to see the AI voice demonstrate a much broader range of emotions, but in this respect I was left cold. Give it a go yourself and see what you think. I'm sure there will be countless more Whispers from the Star clones in the coming months and years, but this one stands out as one of the first quality titles exploring this aspect of AI interactivity in gaming.

This is a fresh take on an emerging genre. It's almost like a visual novel, except you're interacting with the characters in a more natural way than the typical "pick 3 options" response. It's still early, but so far, it feels like the future of what gaming can be. I hope this takes off, because imagine if this is how we could interact with NPCs in open world games like Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, or really any game. Where each NPC you talk to has the lore baked into them, so their stories are consistent. Supporting this project means supporting that concept, and for the extremely fair price of admission, I'm all in. Edit: Whoa, didn't expect all the hate, or even this much attention for my review. I'll just make one final statement, as I'm not interested in arguing back and forth with people who disagree with my review. I believe this game has a role to play in what the future of gaming could look like (as do many others). I respect that not everyone sees it that way, and you're all entitled to your opinions. But if you want to add input, why not make it constructive? Games like this are a stepping stone to what could be. A story driven experience that immerses players more deeply into its world through realistic conversations. I apologize for originally calling it a pioneer of a new genre and have since updated it to say "This is a fresh take on an emerging genre".
