I've been going through a weird phase since Where Winds Meet came out I've been looking for anything Romance era related and I came across Whisper brooks, it's a competent visual novel for sure. The story is simple but effective investigation, mystery, unsettling little discoveries that slowly add up. It's the kind of narrative where you always feel like you're one step behind something you don’t fully understand. The environmental storytelling is the real star old notes, broken structures, strange symbols around the woods it all feeds into the same uneasy feeling. The writing is competent and I enjoyed the seperate stories, check it out its free.
