First Update: Graphics scalingIt's been a while, but here's the first update. It cleans up some little imperfections in the UI, but more importantly, adds options for graphics scaling that should make the game much easier to read. Playing through it now, I myself have to wonder how anyone put up with the tiny text of the original version.

(It looks better ingame.)
I plan to make just a couple more updates improving little things about the experience (though the story will remain the same), and at least one major update improving general accessibility. Not to mention integration with more Steamworks features, and localization, starting with Spanish!
Be safe,
Nathaniel
[ 2017-02-24 22:02:52 CET ] [ Original post ] 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.
Rumors resurface. Legends are resurrected.
The Whisperer in Darkness is a visual novel based on the cosmic horror story by H.P. Lovecraft. Play as Alex N. Wilmarth, skeptic and professor at Miskatonic University, as you unravel the hideous secrets centered at a secluded farm in the hills of Vermont, coming ever closer to mortal peril.
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?
