Our first major update is here and to celebrate, Whispers of the Eyeless is 25% off!
Old Town has been waiting. Watching. A place of faded grandeur, where whispered prayers rise with the smoke of a thousand guttering candles, and the faithful—desperate, devout, or simply doomed—seek meaning in the ever-growing dark. With this update, the streets of Old Town finally unfold, revealing a full narrative arc, new trials of faith, and the weight of decisions that can shape the city’s future.
This is more than just a deeper dive into the campaign. The Sanctum now pulses with life—or something eerily close to it—as Callings shift, Sacrifices take on new gravity, and a voice lingers in the shadows of every choice you make. Preach Tales emerge as a new way to spread the gospel of the Dead Gods, offering a chance to steer the faithful… or bend them to something far worse. And through it all, the Prophet moves forward, one step closer to whatever end awaits.
This is The Old Town Reckoning. It is a turning point, an expansion, and an invitation to sink deeper into the city's secrets.
Check out the trailer and changelog down below!
Your Words Matter More Than You Think
We don’t have a marketing team. No big publisher running ads. Just a handful of people pouring everything we have into Whispers of the Eyeless and hoping it finds the players who’ll love it. Reviews—honest ones, from people who’ve walked the city’s streets and made their choices—are how that happens.
They help more than algorithms. They tell us what lingers in your mind long after you’ve closed the game. They remind us why we’re making this at all.
If Whispers has meant something to you, we’d love to hear it. Even a sentence makes a difference. And if you’ve already left one—thank you. You’re the reason we get to keep building this world.
"The city does not resist us—it only pretends to. Its walls crumble with whispers, its people kneel with a word. But the Gods? They do not whisper. They demand." - The Prophet
Whispers of the Eyeless ver. 0.5.0
