"Whispering Willows is a game that has a unique, interesting concept that unfortunately doesn’t end up becoming fully realised. It’s a shame because although the spirit projecting works well, it’s simply under-utilised. The game feels old fast and without a great narrative to drive them on many players will find themselves quickly becoming bored of their foray into the Willows Mansion. Whilst the fantastic art style make some amends for the uninspired gameplay, it’s not enough to encourage players to buy the game. It’s a shame; a bit more work and Night Light Interactive might have had something pretty special on their hands."
Online video game retailer Physicality Games, in partnership with video game publishers Akupara Games and Mastiff, today announced the planned physical release of the 2D adventure-horror video game, "Whispering Willows" on the Nintendo Switch™ system and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system from Sony.
I played this game and the character moves so damn slow I quit playing it. Frustrating with all the back tracking
Really? I thought that you could run in this game? Or perhaps I remember it wrong? :S

So does Whispering Willows do such a thing, or will it fade away into its own shadows?
