Well, 5 crashes is enough for me.
This is a pretty competent game made in FPSC, it isn't fantastic but it does have nice environments (for FPSC games) with half decent lighting & audio cues that make sense contextually.
My main problem (which might be FPSC's problem & not this title is that in half an hour of game time, the game crashed 5 times. When I was able to play, there are several combat sections where you are forced to go & collect ammo to progress & out of the 6 times I picked up ammo, 3 of those times caused the gun to disappear & so I was killed by the shadow creature thing & had to reload; the sprint doesn't seem to be quick enough to move round the enemy so glitches have stopped me from finishing twice now & then it crashed again.

It also has the usual 'horror game on Steam' things like a couple of notes not being translated into english, you do mostly collect keys, pretty sure there was a jumpscare that triggers without the player having to face towards it; but they bothered to animated the monster, so that puts it above some of the other ones I've played.

I'm not refunding it, I'm not recomending it, I'm pretty sure I'm seconds from finishing it in under half an hour, if it hadn't crashed ever then it'd probably be a 15-20 minutes game (unless I'm wrong & leaving in your car isn't the end).

There isn't much to it, but out of the probably 15 games I've played that are made in FPSC, this is the one that has left me feeling less cheated.
I hope you patch the things, have my $5aud.

This is a very short horror game with tons of bugs and a nasty habit of crashing on load screens.

You are some guy who is supposed to watch some old man's home. You are given a set of tasks, but these are mostly ignored for the rest of the game, except one instance where you picked up a parcel and nothing happens. The atmosphere is pretty good at first, the lighting is consistently good for most the game and if you don't know what will happen next it can be suspenseful, but that changes about halfway into this about hour long game.
After about 30 minutes of wandering the tiny house you get a gun and everything changes after that. The threat is a bunch of pitch black models with glowy eyes, and that is the only threat. They are all the same. Using your gun you can kill them in about 2-3 shots, so this changes from a horror game to very dark shooter. Everything kinda changes once you know you can fight this mysterious evil force with a basic firearm and it stops being scary whatsoever. There are also several times that the monsters would fail to chase me and just run into a wall, severely breaking the tone. The enemies can kill you in one hit which isn't a challenge, it is just annoying. Every encounter is just seeing their eyes in the dark, firing into them, and if you are unlucky then you die. Several times I died I didn't end up back at the menu, but instead I just floated in place, unable to move, making me pause the game and load my last save manually.
Everytime you die or go through a door you have to sit through a loading screen. As everyone else has pointed out, this game crashes a lot during these loading screens. You pretty much have to hold your breath and hope it doesnt crash. With the enemies damage being so unforgiving, this can be a huge problem.
This game is very short, full of bugs, and the ending just sort of happens suddenly, with no real build-up. It isn't the worst horror game on Steam, it atleast has some original stuff to enjoy, but it still wasn't very fun or scary. This game is definitely not worth $5, if you do get it try to get it at a reduced price.

Whispers is a rather buggy and unexciting game.

The main flaw of Whispers is the bugginess. This game slows down my computer, crashes, and sometimes just doesn't work. There is not much more to say about this, because I simply gave up on the game after it crashed 3 times. I usually give most games a shot, but enough is enough.

Overall, too buggy of a game.

Rating: 2.0/10

Whispers is a horror game from the developer Peace, who is just as bad as GDNomad when it comes to horror games.

Story:

In Whispers you play as a caretaker who is hired to take care of a farm house, you have a set of instructions and you have to follow them, but when you arrive at the home, you find out that there's something really wrong going on and you have to escape.

Honestly the story in Whispers is not good at all, it barely makes any sense at all and the main character is next level stupid. He literally has the power to leave at any moment, yet does things like look for certain items that he won't need if he just jumps into his car and drives away.

Graphics:

Just like his other games, Whispers is pretty much an asset flip and honestly some things that the developers does with these assets are pretty funny. One of them being to simulate driving through a cornfield, he spins the corn patches in circles to simulate the car moving, it was pretty hilarious.

Audio:

The audio design is pretty poor. It sounds exactly like every other low budget indie horror game, I've played from these two developers and honestly it gets quite tedious, even though Whispers has some gun effects added in. The rifle in the game doesn't sound terrible, but honestly it doesn't sound as powerful as it should.

Gameplay:

Whispers is an item hunting simulator, you find an item and it will unlock the next area of the game. There's no puzzle solving or anything, but unlike the other games I've played from these devs, Whispers is actually also a first person shooter.

The shooting however feels awful, the damage is inconsistent. Sometimes enemies take two bullets to die, sometimes they take three shots to die, but they take you out in a single hit. Also it doesn't matter where you shoot, it will always do the same amount of damage.

Verdict:

Whispers is not good at all, it's miles better than anything GDNomad or Peace have put out since, but honestly I still wouldn't recommend it. It crashes constantly, there's english grammar mistakes and the other issues these games usually have, but at least this one has much more gameplay, but it's still not worth it.

Final Rating:
2.5/10

Pros:
+ Shooting segments break the tedium of item hunting

Cons:
- Story is awful and the main character is insanely stupid
- Crashes constantly
- Inconsistent damage from the gun

This actually doesn't happen to me very often, but this game crashed so much that I couldn't get very far at all.

What I was able to play wasn't terrible....but it really wasn't good either. I got it for $3(40% off) and I really wish that I had only paid $0.99 or less. Absolutely not worth the full price tag.

You might be asking yoursef: Why doesn't she just refund then?!

Because I don't believe in refunding games. I want the devs to keep my money and put it towards making better games/improving the ones they have based on the feedback that folks have given them. Although a few devs would simply take the money and make more crap(I'm looking at you Digital Homicide).

That being said, if I were much younger(think pre-teen) and this game didn't crash so much, I would probably give it two snaps and a clap!

Since I'm an adult who has had years to refine my tastes in spoops, this is unplayable and unacceptable in its current state. Hopefully some patching happens and I can change my review.

The game is very tense ans the shockers are great.
But I can't recommend it though. It crashes all the time and should be patched.
I really would like to give a thumbs up, but the crashes are too annoying.

I would have loved this game. It looks and sounds amazing, the controls are smooth, the atmosphere has just the right build from eere to just plain frightening. The puzzles were a bit too easy, but that doesn't bother me much. There reason I say would have enjoyed is because of the crashing. Constant crashing. Seriously the crash rate of this game is something Bethesda can only aspire to. I wish I could have finished it but crashing every five minutes just wasn't worth it. It took away from the experience and made a 45min - hour game take 3 hours. If the developer fixes the issues I will recoment this game, but until then it's not worth your time.

FPSC games seem to becoming as common as UNITY these days and this falls into the former meaning random crashes between levels and other bugs.
If you can persevere with these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there is a not too bad horror game here. Ok it's typically stupid story-wise and has some silly situations but it has a little playability that has you wanting to see that little bit further. The visuals and sonics are typical of this these sort of games but add to the atmosphere nonetheless.
There was one particularly eerie scene from a wardrobe that wasn't a jump scare but chilled to me to the bone no less!
I would recommend it for that scene alone!

Crashes every 5 min. Well done when I was able to play, actually kind of enjoyed it, but crashed so much that I give up.

I cannot recommend this game because of two major flaws:

- Frequent crashes: During the 50 minutes it took me to complete the game, it crashed about 8 times.
The crashes make you replay much of the game because you can only save in certain spots.

- Very high cost per hour: Without the crashes, it would have taken me about 30 minutes to complete the game, which, at the current full price of 4.99€, means that you are paying just under 10€ per hour of gameplay.
