The Whisperer in Darkness is a one hour visual novel style adaptation of the identically titled short story by Lovecraft, updated to better fit the medium and the modern era. The MC exchanges email correspondence with a man in rural Vermont on the subject of the mysterious elder race. Their investigations lead to dangerous encounters with entities beyond human understanding.
The story is mostly told through a combination of reading narration, newspaper articles, and emails. There are a few interactive moments where you guide the MC through a dark house or over to a specific item, but these moments felt the weakest and had the most simplistic art.
Recommended for: Fans of Lovecraft/cosmic horror and short stories.
