Whispers From Below

Whispers From Below is a first-person cooperative puzzle adventure for two players, set in a world inspired by cosmic horror. After their mentor disappears, two detective apprentices follow his investigations to an old, isolated mansion. They discover the case is tied to a ritual, a secret organization and forces beyond rational explanation, and must explore the mansion, uncover its secrets and trust each other to find answers and escape.

Two perspectives

Each player perceives the mansion differently. One may see an inscription that is hidden from the other, while an object can reveal different information depending on who examines it. Neither player has all the clues needed to understand what is happening, so you compare observations and piece together what the mansion conceals.

The shell

The investigators use a strange shell to communicate when the mansion separates them, light dark areas and reveal traces invisible to the naked eye. Each discovery brings them closer to what lies beyond their known reality.

Cooperative puzzles

You interpret patterns, operate mechanisms from separate rooms, relay instructions and connect clues spread across both players' perspectives. Solutions depend on what you understand together, not on what either player can do alone.

The investigation

Explore abandoned halls, sealed libraries, moonlit courtyards and ritual chambers deep beneath the mansion. Find documents, reconstruct your mentor's final movements and uncover what led him to defy his convictions. The search for a missing man becomes a much larger investigation.
