Whisper of the House

At its core its obviously heavily inspired by "unpacking". but it offers a much more varieties of gameplay, some levels can be finished with your brain completely shut down, but some require certain level of creativity. Frankly speaking i was just expecting a overpriced unpacking clone, but turn out its a evolved version with lot of contents, what a surprise!

i would recommend this game, but i do have complicated feelings about it. this game is incredibly charming and reeaallyyy fun. the unpacking mechanics are so nice and having the different levels makes it really enjoyable and unique. I am so captivated by the tiny glimpses of story you get with each level, but at the same time I feel confused talking to npcs. Each narrative is so random and kind of half baked, it makes me want more but they're so short lived and inconclusive that it leaves me feeling pretty dissatisfied. This game is kind of mysterious, which I like, but the 15 levels available don't feel like enough to me. You kind of get thrown all of these levels, and then everything comes to a stand still. I walked around the town for half an hour trying to figure out what I was missing. I just think for a game that is so interesting at it's core, it needs a more structured playing experience.

I miss my Grandpa. This game is worth playing for that little side story alone, for me.

Have you ever wanted to move to a mysterious town to become a housekeeper, interior designer, and paranormal investigator all at once? Well boy do I have the game for you! Whisper of the House drops you into a cute and vibrant little town, where the townspeople will pay you to clean, organize, and design homes and businesses. But you start to encounter some... weird objects, not to mention the anonymous and vaguely threatening letters you start receiving in the mail. Oh, and you can pet cats! The gameplay primarily consists of completing jobs for the townspeople (which progresses the story), fixing "anomalies," decorating your own homes (you start with one, and acquire 2 more throughout the game), and taking "model home" requests. There are also a few minigames -- making potions, mixing drinks, and growing unique plants (which you can then use to decorate with). Finally, you can wander around the town, which is just so cute and cozy!! It's rewarding to explore, because there are ano...

I'm going to give this game a recommended because it is enjoyable, the art style is very charming, the lil spooky story is very interesting. But the game does feel a little half baked for a full release. There aren't very many locations to decorate, 15 at most which I feel is a very small amount for a full released game. I'm unsure of the developers plans for continued updates but I feel the game is missing a lot of content. There's so much potential here so I hope they continue support as this was a delightful little experience!

I enjoyed this game a great deal, and it's a bummer to not be able to recommend this game on the merits of what it does well - but it truly does feel like a half-finished experience. The parts that work are wonderful and memorable - two levels early in the story have incredible hidden secrets that truly make you feel smart for figuring them out. But the back half of the game becomes repetitive and relatively uninteresting. The game promises a great deal about a hidden story to unravel, but its most interesting ideas go totally unexplored and unexplained. There are big missing chunks of story here that can't help but feel like the dev just ran out of time, and disappointingly, it takes what could have been, I think, a truly incredible game to a pretty unmemorable one. The decorating is fun, but the economy has zero challenge whatsoever. You get thousands of 'vouchers' for completing easy in-game tasks, and after that can just spam the merchants, which only award furniture at rando...

If you liked Unpacking, you'll like this. Other unpacking-likes just redo the formula; Whisper of the Town does something new and fun with it. It gives you a whole town with multiple buildings to unpack and clean up while also organizing your own dwellings. Each task is a mini story with secrets to uncover. I'm having a blast so far. Reductive Review: Unpacking + House Flipper + Sims (furniture arranging) + [spoiler] Gravity Falls [/spoiler]

I just got the end credits, but I don't have all the achievements yet, and it took me 6 hours. I had a lot of fun with this! There's several more in game things I can decorate and a lot of things left to collect, I also didn't spend much time on my own house - which I want to do. It's a fun little unpacking type game but with a lot of variety of homes and businesses, and theres some real spooky sht going on too which I like a lot. I'm also a scaredy cat with pretty much any kind of scary game and this isn't scary, just has some neat spooky vibes every so often.

I've been waiting for this game to release, The art-style and organising/decorating game play is what drew me in, after playing for couple of hours i have to say this game is amazing and will easily become one of my favourites the stroyline is engaging and actions you make contribute to the story i love that your able to walk around town and interact with everything, i would definitely recommend this game

I love this game so much! ♡ There's quite a lot of content and an underlying mystery to solve. I really appreciated the eerie vibes and decorating [spoiler] the graveyard [/spoiler] was my absolute favourite! We are given some decent freedom with organising and there are plenty of side missions where you are given a theme, some starting items, and then basically free reign to decorate as you see fit. And we can customise our own space too. Would love to see more of this cozy + spooky combination in the genre coming forward for sure!
