Whispers - Adventure map

WHAT IS THIS?

Whispers is a multi-part story adventure maps, loosely based in the narrative of Barotrauma. It was made for solo playthrough, but you can make it duo.

The map uses text boxes over the environment to convey information and narrative, a little like point and click adventure games. Move the cursor over scenery, like a bookshelf or poster, and I’ll usually have a memory component with text overlaid to give some information about that scenery.

Completion time is 120-260 minutes, it depends on your willingness to read. Scenario is divided into 3 parts, so you don't have to go through it all at once.

[STORY]

You play the head of a maintenance crew keeping a massive satellite dish on the highly irradiated surface of Europa in operation. The dish is the lifeline between Europa and the rest of humanity (including Earth who doesn't seem to be on speaking terms with the coalition right now). You ship any communications received to people who are probably more important and powerful then you’ll ever hope to be, and then ensure their response is transmitted.

The days drag on through a haze of radiation and monotony until your mind slowly turns into mush. This is where the story begins.
