Whisper of the House

You cozy games fans are in for a real treat with Whisper of the House. This is a charming little organization style game where you help the townsfolk by doing what you do best, and that is cleaning and organizing. There is something very cathartic about this game that makes you want to just keep on playing it. It is the kind of game that is just perfect for those who want to have a nice chill afternoon or perhaps unwind after a rough day at work. I think that this is a fantastic game, but if you are still on the fence, there is a pretty solid demo that will show you why this game is so awesome.

Welcome To Whisper Town

I am trying really hard not to use the word “charming” a million times, but this game really does ooze charm. Whisper of the House is set in a town called Whisper Town, and we are a housekeeper who helps people keep their houses clean and organized. This game has a ton of whimsy about it. For example, we have a little robot buddy called Mark, and he helps us out. We need to help a lady called Luna who has a sleepy dog, and we even end up travelling back in time thanks to a mad scientist's lab in his basement!

“Unpacking”

The game starts by having you unpack and then organize things to the place that they are supposed to go. As soon as I started playing Whisper of the House, I got major Unpacking vibes, which is another awesome cozy game. Each thing has a place, and you need to organize the space and make sure things are where they need to be. It is a very chill experience, but it does also makes you think, as you need to make sure that things look good, as the last step of your housework is to take a picture to show that everything is nice and clean. However, once this is done, this is where the real game begins.

All In A Day's Work

The first two jobs that you do in the demo of Whisper of the House showcase just how much charm the game has. You get messages sent to your inbox from people who need your cleaning and organizing skills. You have to help Luna and her plant crazy house get organized, and then you need to help a scientist who has a lab that has a time machine, which actually sends you back in time, and of course, once there, you have to clean and organize before you come back. The “gameplay” is very simple in that you just click on what you want to pick up and then take it where you want it to go, cleaning is as simple as a right click. It all works very well, and there is always something to keep you busy. When you do finish a job, you have a real sense of accomplishment about what you just did.

I Need That Dog Pillow

Ok, so I have to use the word charming again, but there is honestly no other way to describe the whole look and vibe that Whisper of the House has going on. The adorable pixel art, Mark, that freaking super cute dog and then best of all, I got a huge ass pillow of that dog for doing a good job. The game 100 percent has cozy vibes to it, but it offers so much more than that. It has a whole style that is just very hard to describe; the game makes you smile the whole time you are playing it. When you discover something, for example, I clicked on the rubber duck, I moved, and it quacked at me! Stuff like that just adds even more charm to the game!

Pros:

• The whimsy and charm of this game are off the scale
• I loved the adorable pixel art
• The people in this town are a lot of fun, and each has their own story
• The actual cleaning and organizing is fantastic

Cons:

• I really, really hope this makes it out this year
• This is 100 percent the kind of game I NEED to get a physical release!
