Review: Whispers Room 6

WARNING: Spoilers may be present.

BACKGROUND

Whispers Room 6 is a video game made by Origaming, released on April 5th, 2011. It's an escape game built around the horror genre.

PLOT

A couple and their child are driving at night, just as a storm develops. The husband (Mr. Johnson), agrees that they should stop for the night until the storm passes over. They discover a motel, and they check in, only to receive a room that has been dormant for years. Mr. Johnson goes to wash his face, only to be frightened by the sudden appearance of a ghost girl in the mirror. If that wasn't eerie enough, he finds that his wife and child have disappeared.

GAMEPLAY

Like many escape games, you click your way around, looking for items and doing puzzles. Nothing more could be said about it.

PROS

  • The game delivers a chilling atmosphere, and it actually works. Throughout the game, you can't help but feel for the main protagonist

  • The game is simple enough to play, almost to the point that even first timers could do it without a walkthrough.


CONS

  • Depending on your computer, the game may not load at certain instances, only at pure luck.


  • There're some instances of lag, but it isn't constant.
OVERALL

Whispers Room 6 is worth a try, if you're looking for a well developed game, and is right up the ally of horror fans.
