Whispering Willows involves a lot of interesting concepts that unfortunately haven’t been fully utilised. It’s a pleasant experience that will keep players engaged for the few hours of gameplay it has, but the puzzles are very easy, while the tension and horror is lacking.
Online video game retailer Physicality Games, in partnership with video game publishers Akupara Games and Mastiff, today announced the planned physical release of the 2D adventure-horror video game, "Whispering Willows" on the Nintendo Switch™ system and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system from Sony.
I played this game and the character moves so damn slow I quit playing it. Frustrating with all the back tracking
Really? I thought that you could run in this game? Or perhaps I remember it wrong? :S

In an era where 2D sidescrollers and exploration games are potentially saturating the market, whether they be games such as Shovel Knight with Ducktales like elements, or even the Boulder Dash esque Steamworld Dig, it will take something different and intriguing to stand out amongst these successful titles. So does Whispering Willows do such a thing, or will it fade away into its own shadows?
Great review. Art style looks wonderful, and it's nice to have a ghost story that isn't strictly horror, but still not exactly for the kids.
That said, it's sad to see that they didn't do as much as they could have with the game.
It seems like the puzzles in video games are becoming easier by the day =/
Thanks for the review, shame it didnt live up to it but a lot of promise from these guys
