About Whispers in the West - Co-op Murder Mystery
Whispers in the West is a point-and-click murder mystery game with a twist - it supports online co-op for 1-4 players. The game sets in the far reaches of the Old West. A series of crimes have shaken the Wild West - eluding even the most expert investigators. Each story is a unique and intriguing hour-long mystery waiting to be solved. To succeed, the players can either go on a solo adventure or work as a team.
The base game includes a Tutorial, a mini-mystery, The Portrait, and a full case, The Break-in.
The Break-in: Dawn breaks to find the Brimstone Bank broken open. What comes spilling out could bury this town. It's time to roll up your sleeves and get sleuthing, before everything unravels.
There are six cases in the initial release. The Break-in is included in the base game, and each DLC add-on offers a different case.
💡In Whispers in the West, your friends don't need to buy the game to join a room. As long as the host owns the case, anyone invited can join for free using the Steam demo.
"Friends play for free" applies to the base game and the DLCs.

Gamplay
- Online co-op mode
Whispers in the West is best played in the company of friends. You can either use in-game voice chat or your preferred tool, such as Discord or Zoom. - Four Unique Playable Characters
The four playable characters each offer a unique skill, which leads to different interactions with the town's residents. You and your friends need to collaborate, look for clues and finally piece the puzzle together. - Explore a stylized game world
Being a side-scrolling RPG, the game features classic point & click gameplay. While this is a well-tested formula, our non-linear story engine and the multiplayer feature make it stand apart from similar games. - Fast travel to locations
Meet the various characters around the town and question them to gain further insight into the town's history, characters and lore.
- Interrogate the residents
Who knows what shady past or hidden romance may have occurred behind the scenes! The further you investigate a character, the closer you’ll come to bringing to light secrets they may withhold about other residents.
- Inspect the clues
A bloody murder weapon is a sure bet to lead you to the truth, or could it be a red herring to throw you off the scent? No doubt a discarded wanted poster holds a hot lead on a potential suspect. However you investigate, a keen eye and quick wit is essential when diving into the rabbit hole.
- Utilize your unique skill
Using all the tools at your team's disposal is essential to solving the mystery within the time limit. Don’t be a lone wolf. - Be aware of the time limit
Keep an eye on the clock as you’ll only have a short time to investigate, and allocate tasks amongst your party wisely.
- Review the investigation
Scrutinize the findings in your case file and determine the truth amongst the lies with your team. In the end, you can only settle on one culprit... Be warned, things may get heated!

Unfortunately need to give NEGATIVE recommendation for this title. In short : this is Nice 2D game what fit in this genre games and have COOP but is also Paywall and Dialog Clicker. Gameplay: Full game offers very little more than the free demo. The base game typically includes a tutorial and only one full main case ("The Break-in"). Other cases are sold separately as DLC. Playtime: Each case is designed to be about 60 minutes long. If you are fast or playing in co-op, finishing it in 15-30 minutes is very possible. Gameplay Mechanics: They criticize the game for being a "clicking simulator." They feel it doesn't require "brain cells" (logical deduction), but rather just "motorics" (the physical act of clicking through dialogue). Price: The base game is often priced around $4.99, while individual DLC cases (like The Curse or The Ghost) are often priced higher, around $6.99 each. However, the game uses a "Friends Play for Free" model. Only the host needs to own the DLC for up to 4 people to play. It feels this is still poor value for a solo player. This game basic is clicking in dialogs this game not request from players to use brain cells just motorics in hand to cli…1 found this helpful
I loved this game. As someone that is not very smart or quick witted this was perfect for me. It is actually a pretty cool co-op game but sometimes playing solo I wished I had a team of four. I played as a team of two and it was not too bad.1 found this helpful
Felling a bit anti-social, so i started this one on my own and it is still lotta fun!
I did have fun playing this with friends, but I found the mysteries simultaneously too short (not enough things to do or investigate) and lacking clues (I didn't always feel like I could be 100% confident making my final report, and some clues obtained with special abilities didn't seem to go anywhere - presumably because you couldn't rely on a given special ability being present if less than 4 are playing). I would play more, but I don't know that I can really recommend this when there are so many mystery games that are more fun. This one's primary advantage is that it's short and co-op friendly. I will update if I play more cases and change my mind.
Bad controls!
