An old industrial city plagued by urban legends, the sins of its past, and unexplained phenomena. For Victoria, a lab assistant working in the field of psychic and mental psychology known as Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP), Corburgh was always home. A place to study and learn. But tonight, something is very wrong with her trusted mentor, Professor Henry Zubringer. Something lies in wait at his apartment building. Something that has sat hidden in the heart of Corburgh for a very long time. Enter the shadows within 1195 Norman Ave., investigate what happened there, and try to save your friend... and yourself. LISTEN FOR THE TRUTH. LISTEN FOR SURVIVAL. What was that noise? Press and hold ‘Listen’ to shut your eyes, calm your mind, and focus your hearing. The Listening feature can be used to eavesdrop on secret conversations behind doors, find hidden mechanisms, and hear that which cannot be seen. Use it to make new discoveries, piece together the full mystery, and survive the entity that stalks you. Casting Whispers features a single-player linear narrative across 6–8 hours of gameplay, set in claustrophobic environments steeped in Americana and Lovecraftian influence. You can unlock multiple endings depending on chance or your own choices, some of which aren’t entirely obvious. How many will you dare to find?
