Whispering Willows has a definite horror air to it, but it’s not likely to put off the squeamish or the easily frightened. It’s not out to scare players or evoke a sense of dread.

Whispering Willows
The only thing more ghastly than its ghosts is finishing Whispering Willows and wanting more.

Whispering Willows has the foundation laid for a great adventure game, but is held back by some shortcomings. Yes, there's some of the slowness in walking and loading, but this can be forgivable by players who enjoy taking their time and drinking everything in. The biggest problem lies in how it feels there could be so much more to fill this world. The game can be finished in about 3 hours, leaving a void that could have possibly been filled with deeper puzzles, deeper dialogues with the ghosts, and simply more to experience overall. What lies in this shallow grave may still be enjoyable, but let's hope a second effort comes that digs deeper.
