The Whispered World
Children love puzzles. This beautifully designed adventure game captivates with its gripping story, atmospheric setting, brilliant music, excellent voice actors and a good dose of humour. The story has depth, and the characters are interesting, multi-layered and well thought out. Sadwick, the melancholic clown, sets out to save the world. He is accompanied by his friend Spot – and the players. The puzzles are quite a challenge and aren’t always easy to solve. But that’s precisely what challenges children aged ten and over. If they get stuck, they’ll seek the solution by communicating with adults and others. Some tricky puzzles encourage everyone to put their heads together, experiment and work out the answers.
