Encouraged by the very positive reception of The Whispering Valley, we are now working on something new for you... October Nightmares.
Like its predecessors, October Nightmares is a 3D point & click horror game. This time we are mixing up cosmic horror with a unique historical context, the October crisis.
The Whispering Valley is now 10% off for the Games From Québec sale! But that's not all. Its prelude, The Whisperer, is also on sale, this time 40% off.
After 3 years of development, The Whispering Valley will release on November 30th on Windows. The Mac version will be available in the following weeks.
Explore a sinister village and solve complex puzzles in The Whispering Valley, a story-driven point & click game. Delve into the horror of guilt and depression to investigate the village's deepest secret.
Province of Quebec, 1896. Hidden in the hollow of a valley, the village of Sainte-Monique-Des-Monts conceals a secret that weighs heavily on the community. The village is left abandoned. Those who remain can only wait. But something else torments the inhabitants. A shadow prowls around the village. Some saw it, others heard it. They heard it whisper.
The Whispering Valley crowdfunding campaign
Hello everyone,
You will be happy to know that since last year, the development of The Whispering Valley hasn't stopped! The game is still on its way for late 2022. But we will need help for the last stretch. This is why we launched yesterday a new crowdfunding campaign.
The campaign is on La Ruche, which is a local crowdfunding platform. It will last 45 days. After the first day, we already reached 10%. Btw, you can have your own in-game tombstone :)
Give what you can (and if you can) and share around!
If you were looking for an excuse to play The Whisperer again, here's one. The history mode is now available on PC & Mac!
The History mode activates informative panels throughout the game about its historical context. If you were wondering what's a trading post, or what's that weird looking scarf on the table, you'll get answers to these questions!
To activate the History mode, go to Settings >> General
It can be turned on or off at any time.
Also, if you are ever stuck in the game, I did this walkthrough video --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_emxC3zARIw
Mac version, very low graphics & resolution fix
New content and more fixes!
Mac OSX The Whisperer is now available on Mac OSX and 2560x1600/1800 resolutions have been added to the list for retina displays. If you enjoyed the game and know a few Mac users that might enjoy it as well, don’t hesitate to let them know about it.
Very low graphics With the GPU shortage, I know some of you are stuck with a 2010 graphic card. If that’s your case, this is for you! You can now play the game on very low graphics, which will give an important boost to some computers.
Resolution fix This is what we call an “attempted” fix. Some of you have reported resolution bugs. I have been able to replicate most of them, but they are Unity related. So I cannot fix them, but I implemented a workaround that should work. If it doesn't, let me know in the forum!
Update 1.1: Puzzle adjustments
We know that some of you had some difficulty to solve a certain puzzle or find a certain item. No spoilers so we won't go into specifics but you probably know what we mean...
This version 1.1 should fix that.
It is hard in a puzzle point & click game to balance between "helping out players" and "give them the solution on a platter". The "oh that's where that item was" or "that's what I am supposed to do with that" sensations are inherent to the p & c experience. For that reason, we preferred giving you less than more. But we don't want this experience to be frustrating.
The experience should be better balanced now. More adjustments will come if necessary.
Save file corruption hotfix
Quick hotfix for bug many of you encountered. If you saved and quit the application, your save file might have been corrupted, erasing some or all your inventory items. This is now fixed!
If your save file is already corrupted, you unfortunately will have to start a new game.
