Launch Window

Despite some good ideas that could have made Among The Whispers: Provocation a compelling addition to the ghost hunting horror subgenre, there are a lot of messy elements scattered throughout all of its corners. It does have a solid foundation, and being single-player does differentiate it from its sources of inspiration, but at the end of the day, the source of inspiration is still a better experience. It does lack variety and becomes tedious very quickly.

Among The Whispers – Provocation isn’t just another ghost game. It’s a love letter to patient, atmospheric horror with a focus on narrative and simulation. If you liked Paranormal P.I., Phasmophobia, or The Mortuary Assistant—but wanted a more intimate, lore-rich solo experience—this should be on your radar. The game launches tomorrow on Steam, and based on what we played, it’s well worth checking out. Don’t blink—or you might miss the ghost standing right behind you.

Outside of some rough edges, Among the Whispers – Provocation has a lot going for it. The things that stood out the most for me were the in-depth stories that were crafted for each individual family member that spans a rather large family tree. Keeping that in mind this excites me even more when I think about the prospect for future maps, families, and maybe even new ghost hunters. That said, with a large map available to the player I expected a lot more substance in the various rooms and corridors of this now vacant mansion.
