Thank you for adding Whispers in the West to your wishlist on Steam. We hope you’ve tried the demo by now - if not, now’s the time to call your friends, saddle up and start the investigation - it’s a lot of fun! The demo contains a tutorial (which is a mystery in itself) and a full, hour-long mystery for up to 4 players.
If you have tried the demo (thank you, you’ve made us smile!), we hope you enjoyed the stories. We’re going to be raising funds through Kickstarter, so we can offer you and your friends more mysteries to solve.

Launching on Thursday 28th of July at 5 pm BST
Why are we launching a Kickstarter campaign?
We’ve been engaging with our players since day one of development, it’s an absolute delight to see you enjoying the game. We’re very grateful to see so many of you supporting us along the way.
As a team, we’re big fans of offline murder mystery games, as well as multiplayer games - we love games that can be shared with friends. So we decided to create our own online co-op mystery game, and we started the Whispers in the West project a year ago. The game has received very positive feedback from players so far - over 80% of anonymous responders say they enjoyed and would recommend the game.
Over the past year, we’ve been hard at work, and we were delighted to gain some start-up funding and recognition through the London Games Festival and UK Games Fund. But now, we need your support so we can continue the development of Whispers in the West.
What will you get by supporting us?
With this Kickstarter campaign, we’re raising funds to create three new game scripts. If you’ve tried the demo, these new scripts will be in a similar format as the ghost story. Each of these stories will be an hour-long mystery, for up to 4 players to solve together.
Pledges start from as little as £20 and, as long as the campaign is a success, you’ll get a bundle of all three new game scripts (equivalent to three mystery parties for up to 4 players). We aim to deliver the stories by Q1 2023.
We’ve also hand-picked some unique merchandise for our early supporters. Make sure you check out the backer rewards section for a fun surprise once the campaign is launched.
