About Whisper of The Witch
Whisper of the Witch is a horror and survival-puzzle game set in a decaying 1900s European manor. Uncover the dark secrets of a family paying the price for their mistakes, and find a way to break free from the ancient curse trapped within the house!
You might think you are in an abandoned and desolate place. However, you are not alone in this house. To survive, you must learn the dark arts, solve environmental puzzles, and most importantly... hold your breath, because she will always be breathing down your neck.
A Ruthless Witch and Relentless Pursuits
You are not alone in the corridors of this sealed house. A ruthless, deranged, and dangerous woman is after you, determined to hunt you down at all costs. You cannot defeat her directly; your only way to survive relies on your wits and stealth.
Use cover mechanics to secretly peek around corners and hide in the shadows. But be careful; you will need to hold your breath to prevent Elizabeth from hearing your heartbeat. If you hold it for too long, your character will cough uncontrollably, instantly giving away your position!
Necromancy 101
To survive and progress, you must turn the cursed nature of this house to your advantage. Explore the hidden parts of the manor and its garden to gather ritual ingredients.
Combine these collected materials in the Magic Room to brew special potions that will help you overcome obstacles. Additionally, by using the "Soul-Sticker" mechanic, you can briefly communicate with the consciousness of the dead.
Piece Together the Truth to Save Your Soul, Break the Curse, and Survive
Gather the clues, face the sins of the past.
Whisper of the Witch is calling you into the darkness!
