8 chapters of authentic Lovecraftian horror.
Experience a linear story through painted illustrations, ASCII art, atmospheric sound effects, an unsettling musical score, and frantic email correspondence with a conspiracy theorist who might be a little too close to the truth. No guns, no fighting. Just you, alone to discover what lies hidden in the world you thought you knew. Once you find the truth, can you ever go back?
Note: The Whisperer in Darkness is a short, focused experience which takes under an hour for a full playthrough. The story has no branching choices, and only one ending.

Vive una historia lineal a través de ilustraciones, arte ASCII, efectos de sonido atmosféricos, una inquietante banda sonora, y una frenética correspondencia por correo electrónico con un conspirador que podría estar demasiado cerca de la verdad. Sin armas ni combates. Sólo tú puedes descubrir qué se esconde en el mundo que creías conocer. Cuando descubras la verdad, ¿podrás volver atrás?
