Multiplayer Murder Mystery Game
Whispers in the West is a game set in the far reaches of the Wild West frontier, a perilous dust bowl of cowboys, gunslingers and lawless criminals up to no good. This creates the perfect environment for a whodunit mystery! A crime has occurred in the sleepy town of Brimstone and it’s down to you and three of your friends to deduce who is the perpetrator from among the residents. Interrogate the suspects and navigate this sun soaked town to uncover the truth.
Role-Play Four Unique Playable Characters
The four playable characters each offering a unique skill, which leads to different interactions with the town's residents. Each player's discoveries will be crucial to uncovering the truth. Over the course of a number of in-game days, you and your friends need to collaborate, look for clues and finally piece the puzzle together.
Online Co-op
You and your friends will take on the roles of the Sheriff, the Deputy, the Cowboy and the Outlaw. You must work collaboratively and debate amongst yourselves to deduce the true perpetrator from among the townsfolk. Ask the residents questions or search locations for clues, the choice is yours. But remember, the only way to solve the mystery is to work as a team, only when you piece the information, clues and motives together will you be able to solve the mystery.
Perhaps you’ll be strategic and send your party’s Cowboy to main street to interrogate a notorious cattle rustler, whilst a team member playing as the Outlaw follows a lead on a locked door the Priest seems intent on keeping under wraps…However you allocate tasks, you’ll need to share your findings with your gang of investigators to come to the right conclusion!
Communication is key - Whispers in the West is best played with the company of an online-chatting software, like Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp.
The Playable Characters
With four unique characters to choose from, you will be equipped with a skill to aid in your investigation. Will you choose the Outlaw with her trusty lockpick to venture into uncharted territory, or will it be the Sheriff who’s badge could potentially gain the respect of a hesitant resident and land your team some valuable information. Teamwork will allow you to successfully uncover hidden dialogue secrets the residents may be unwilling to share, and explore the secret alcoves of Brimstone’s locations to the fullest.
The Investigation
The Streets of Brimstone
Discover the various locations of Brimstone and explore its depths for clues! From the bustling, grimy saloon, the center of the town’s nightlife where unruly cowboys brawl over card games, to the dust-bowl, tumbleweed ridden main street where shady outlaws lie in wait under high noon. Expect a head scratching journey in this town teeming with ye olde Western locale. There are heaps of secrets to unearth, which will leave you and your friends perplexed as you piece the mystery together.
The Residents of Brimstone
Brimstone’s eclectic cast of characters feature the best and the worst of the Wild West. You will meet the good-for-nothing Mayor hidden away in his studious office, a withered Saloon Owner gossiping away as he shares rumors with his customers, and the high-strung Blacksmith hammering away at his anvil to name but a few. Don’t be fooled however, a culprit lurks among them! Will you be able to tell the good from the bad and the ugly?
Whodunnit?
Explore a stylized game world
Being a side-scrolling RPG, the game features classic point & click gameplay. While this is a well-tested formula, our non-linear story engine and the multiplayer feature make it stand apart from similar games.
Fast travel to locations
Meet the various characters around the town and question them to gain further insight into the town's history, characters and lore.
Interrogate the residents
Who knows what shady past or hidden romance may have occurred behind the scenes! The further you investigate a character, the closer you’ll come to bring to light secrets they may withhold about other residents.
Inspect the clues
A bloody murder weapon is a sure bet to lead you to the truth, or could it be a red herring to throw you off the scent? No doubt a discarded wanted poster holds a hot lead on a potential suspect. However you investigate, a keen eye and quick wit is essential to follow the rabbit hole.
Utilize your unique skill
Using all the tools at your team's disposal is essential to thoroughly investigate Brimstone. The Sheriff's badge is not just for decoration, this trusty tool can be used to gain favor with characters and gather coveted information. The Deputy’s forensic kit will also prove extremely useful in identifying a chaotic crime scene. The Outlaw’s lockpick will be fundamental in unlocking hidden areas. Lastly, the Cowboy’s gun is a sure fire way to intimidate a character, perhaps they’ll share in their best kept secrets, or rumors overheard in the saloon.
Be aware of the time limit
Keep an eye on the clock as you’ll only have a short time to investigate, allocate tasks amongst your party wisely.
Review the investigation
Scrutinize the findings in your case file and determine the truth amongst the lies with your team. In the end you can only settle on one culprit... Be warned, things may get heated!
