Every story has its truth

WhisperTeller is an anthology of narrative adventures with a deep detective system. Each successive story — from another culture, another era, another storytelling tradition — gives you a new world to explore and a new mystery to unravel.

At the heart of the game lies a detective notebook with 5 tabs: Tasks, People, Places, Clues, Rumors. Entries appear automatically during conversations and exploration. Investigation hypotheses self-eliminate as you gather evidence.

First adventure: The Fern Flower. Your son is dying. The only cure is the legendary fern flower, which blooms once a year on Kupala Night. You have a week to obtain three magical items from forest spirits — and along the way discover who truly killed the girl who drowned beneath the sacred willow three years ago.

Mechanics that make a difference

Detective notebook

5 tabs (Tasks / People / Places / Clues / Rumors). Entries appear automatically. Investigation hypotheses self-eliminate as you gather evidence. Christie-style whodunit with auto-tracking.

4 character classes

Farmer (Strength), Merchant (Cunning), Herbalist (Knowledge), Storyteller (Charm). Each class opens unique dialogue options — from physical help to songs and bargains.

7 days until Kupala

Limited time forces choices. Each act has its own deadline with story justification — Baba Yaga's hut moves elsewhere tomorrow, the road to the mountains takes two days.

6+ endings

From dark amnesia to the rare reconciliation of father and daughter beneath the sacred willow. Your choices across 5 acts decide which path you see. Speedrunners and explorers get different stories.

Slavic mythology

Marta with cat Bazyli, Leshy in the oak grove, Mamunas guarding the Sacred Grove, Wodnik in the reeds, Topielec under the sacred willow, Rusalka on the misty island. Folklore rooted in real Kupala Night traditions.

Anthology framework

Bookshelf as main menu — each new adventure is a new book on the shelf. Independent save for each story. The first is The Fern Flower. The second (The Bronze Eye's Treasure, pirate) in production.
