Our take on Whispers in the West - Co-op Murder Mystery
The co-op emphasis can obscure the short-case structure. Each story is described as hour-long, while the base game includes one full case, a mini-mystery, and a tutorial. The six cases in the initial release are not presented as six full base-game cases.
What is Whispers in the West - Co-op Murder Mystery?
Set in the Old West, this point-and-click murder mystery supports solo play and online co-op for 1–4 players.
The base game includes a tutorial, the mini-mystery The Portrait, and the full case The Break-in. The vendor says there are six cases in the initial release, with additional cases available as DLC. Players travel around town, question residents, inspect clues, and use the distinct skills of four playable characters. Investigations have a time limit, after which the group reviews its case file and selects one culprit. A Steam demo includes a tutorial and a 15-minute mini-mystery, and invited friends can use it to join a host’s case for free. The game also includes in-game voice chat and Twitch integration.
