Indulging gameplay Thank you team for your timely response to my support mail. I have completed the game in 2 days. It is very indulging game and paying close attention to the conversations is the key to the progress of game. Should play in little bright setting on tab to look for those tiny holes in ceilings. Playing with nvidia shield controller is breeze. Immensely enjoyed. Thanks for a nice game!

They say history is written by the victors... but, is that history REALLY the truth? Elena Elkhorn discovers that everyone has skeletons in their closet... or in this case, their greenhouse, well, basement, and a lot of other places! Can you make a sequel, PLEASE!?!?!? Oh, BTW, my favorite game is the Fran Bow series. I recommend it for people who like this game.
Wonderful gameplay and art, especially on Nvidia Shield TV. My only issue is of a technical nature: using the Shield Controller's joystick to move while in spirit form results in very erratic movement, forcing me to use the D-pad instead.

Hey James, that's odd. That was an issue in the previous version 1.27, but in 1.29 we thought we fixed it. Is it the handheld NVIDIA devices giving the issue, or the NVIDIA TV? Email us at support@nightlightint.com Please add support for xbox one s Bluetooth controller. Doesn't work at all on my shield tv.

Can you disable the hint icons. I'm sry. But it's driving me nuts. I can only look at help hints so many times before I wot the game. Please add option to remove. Then will go back up to five stars. Thanks again gray developer
Overall a very tight game with excellent artistic style. Only a few minor qualms e.g. going up and down stairs/ladders being slightly clunky and I felt the ending seemed a bit rushed/forced but otherwise the story was good. Would highly recommend
Turkish language Turkish Language would be best as well as better control options like play with keyboard. Other than these seems to good.
Personal opinion is; The Second Best Mobile Game (only to be topped by Dark Meadow which is actually irrelevant information), Whispering Willows offers a fantastic adventure horrifyingish gameplay. It's a horror game who does not focus on stressing the player but instead encourages them get through dangers by solving the well prepared puzzles. The main idea is that the protoganist can seperate the body and wander in form of spirit, having access to different places in each form, explore a big mansion while searching for the long lost father figure. Okay maybe the story isn't bestestmost or uniquestmost but how the developers put it on game play is a symphony of delightful experience. I think this game is wide open the best Deal Of The Week game ever. And I stress this last statement while reminding that there was a Tomb Raider game a few weeks ago. Not that one is bad and one is better, but rather that this game stole me from the other.
The game is beautiful, however, I can't use my Dual Shock 4 controller on my Android TV (though it works perfectly on other games) , Sony Android TV Bravia. Would give 5 stars If I can play with the controller, now it's impossible to progress on the game with the tv remote
An immersive, creepy adventure. Great ambience, with some genuinely scary moments (no jump scares). Story is top notch except for the end, which feels rushed and unnatural, inorganic, as if the writers found themselves faced with the final confrontation and didn't know how to wrap everything up. The resolution is thus a bit trite (the way in which the girl vanquishes the BBEG) and feels forced. Gameplay is simple and effective, easy to use on touch screens. Art is also beautiful throughout, but something about the lines etc. in the animated cut scenes seems rough and immature, so that their style doesn't quite match up with that of the rest of the game art, nor do justice to the wonderful creepy horror mood of the game.
Hey guys excelent game just a quick request: Controls for Gpd XD and OTG input... All seem to recognize but i cant get the abyx/shapes buttons to work.. Only directionals.. Ive heard the game is 100% finished so maybe you could find some time to look into this? =) kind regards, Rafael
Starts off interesting with great atmosphere and a compelling reason to progress however after about an hour the game soon turns into a fetch quest with no real gameplay as such , The story quickly becomes the only reason to carry on
Stuck Stuck on ch.2. Followed a guide when it first happened, but the dog is missing and I cannot continue.
Let's just say I used the last of my money for this and I think it's the best game ever (even though it's not my favourite) it's got great graphics and the controls are very good quality so yes it is a very good Game
Seems ok, but the stupidly small in game text is unreadable for me and as such the game is unplayable.
Well when playing this game at midnight, it certainly gives you chills and is one of the greatest and capturing games I've played so far.
Great game Innovative and awesome game. Kept me inthralled the whole time. Please make more!
Pretty Hi, the game is good, but the response on the tablet is really slow, resulting in not being able to pass the first demon, and I have tried, it just wouldn't.
The game shuts down a little ways into chapter 2, I'd rate it better if I could finish the game, please fix the problem I really like this game.
Brilliant game, reminds me of a lot of older classic games. Kept me captivated and intrigued all the way through. Loved it, would definitely recommend
I like it, but how cloud save/sync option would be great. Im liking the game, but Im playing it on two different devices and my progress is not synched between devices. Could we have a cloud save / sync option? Doesnt Google Play Games allow cloud save? Thanks!

Hey Paulie, I really wish we could implement it, if only it were that simple!
To be honest we didn't have the foresight for cloud saving. WW saves to one big master game file. It doesn't create little save files that can be uploaded.
Unfortunately this game can't support it, but our next will! Pretty good Well thought out... I'm pretty avid gamer, and I have to say this is well done. A thought... Cloud would be a nice option.
Needs sequel.... Great game but little short for price. Great story, graphics & story. Needs sequel with longer gameplay and story.
Most unusual! Nice spin on a side scroller. Great storyline and art is top notch. Controls are not super accurate on a tablet, about half way through the game it starts to crash (mansion). Possibly due to it being played on a tablet? So if you have a tablet you might have a few issues. If you don't you will find the game most interestng.
Beautiful This game is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The art is magnificent, the music and ambient sounds create the perfect game feel to keep you on the edge of your seat! 10/10
Runs great on my Nexus Player! (Android TV) Game is pretty scary, but still fun!
ok, just been playing for 30 minutes and I'm not extremely impressed thus far. It's good and I'm glad I bought it, it's just not great, yet? The story line is meh but intriguing enough I'll keep at it. I hope it improves and I will certainly raise my rating. For now though it just feel rather average. One issue I've noticed in the Nvidia Shield TV, when in your 'ghost' state control using the thumb stick feels impossible but the dpad works fine.

Hey Mark, we've fixed the issue on NVIDIA with the joystick. Please try again :) Okay... controls still need work First, I want to thank the devs for working towards making this game Moga compatible. Games like this really benefit from controller support, and I appreciate a dev who is willing to work towards meeting the requests of customers, and have upgraded my review in light of this appreciation. That said, the game now claims Moga support, but those controls still need a lot of work. It took me a bit to realize the game was set up to work with "A mode" on my Moga controller (most games opt for HID - or "B" - mode). Nothing worked in HID mode, so I switched and found some control available in A mode. "Some" being the key word. There is no menu control available with the controller - this is important as you often need to read notes via the menu system as you pick them up. You can open the menu, but not control it. Also, there is no way to turn pages within the multi-page notes, even using touch, so I miss some of the text. Soo still not fully playable. I may give it another try if these issues are fixed, but for now, I'll continue to wait...

Hey Brooke, we've updated Moga controller support even more now :) Amazingly beautiful game with large environments to explore. I have just finished the whispering willows and I miss it already. It is a definitely an excellent game that is worthy of your time. The game it’s self is gorgeous featuring lush illustrated art through out. The environments are large and well thought out and the over all length of the game is great. The main character and story are both very well realized. The game received an update while I was playing which offered improvements for touch. They work much better then the original UI and are beautiful. You
Such a fun game. Great atmosphere, great puzzle, great music. The atmosphere is really creepy and the story top notch. Excellent job guys!
Great game so far, but controls are not great There's partial MOGA controller support now but directional pad can get buggy. Thanks to the devs for responding quickly to the issue!
Akupara Games January 30, 2016
