Casting Whispers is Out Now!

[p]Casting Whispers is out now on Steam! In this first-person psychological horror game, sound is your greatest tool… and your best hope for survival. Step into the shoes of Victoria, a lab assistant working in the field of psychic and mental psychology known as Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP), to investigate the paranormal events that plague the city of Corburgh in 1960s America. Use the Listening mechanic to press forward, solve puzzles, and ultimately uncover the cosmic horror that lies in wait.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]I’m Lantern Bay, and I’ve been working on Casting Whispers as a solo developer for the last few years. I used my experience working on sound design for video games to create a unique, atmospheric new entry in one of my favorite genres. When every instinct tells you to run, when shadows encroach, and when your other senses may betray you, do you dare to trust in the darkness and listen for the way out?[/p][p]Get ready to fall into the darkness of Corburgh this Halloween by buying Casting Whispers today. You can also try the free demo for a taste of terror![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h3]About Casting Whispers[/h3]
