I normally don't post off the D&E thread so my reviews usually are only seen there; however, I decided to post my review of this completed game here as well, to catch the attention of those who might be casually considering it.
OK, D&E friends...this is going to be a strange post but...
I just finished an amazing game. It's Whispers: Revelations.
Don't get me wrong; it's horribly made. So much back-and-forth that you'll get a migraine. No logic whatsoever in the gameflow. The mouse is glitchy as heck; even after you find the hidden objects (which are junkpiles, btw...) you have to beat them to death sometimes to get them to register. It took me hours. Several times I had to stop because I just couldn't stand any more.
So why am I here to rave? THE STORYLINE!!! This thing had one of the best, most amazing (and ultimately beautiful) D&E stories I've seen. I kept following it because I had to know what happened. And it didn't disappoint me at all; the ending somehow managed to tie together several seemingly unrelated threads in a logical way. And it wasn't all negative; the artwork was beautiful and the music was lovely.
All I can hope is that these artists and writers get a chance to work with someone someday who knows how to do a good game. They have more creativity than 90% of the big-budget developers out there. They deserve a chance.

Oh: and if you do decide to try this game, watch the entire final cut scene. Trust me: it's worth it to tie this epic story together.
Whew! Rant over..
Whew! Rant over..
I recommend this game!
