I’m finally caught up with my GDC previews (all three of them) and my impressions of The Whispered World have been posted at Adventure Gamers. Going into GDC I didn’t know a ton about this game, besides the fact that it seemed to have been in production forever. After seeing it in person, I’m pretty excited about it. The graphics are gorgeous and the atmosphere has a fairy tale feel that reminds me a little of Telltale’s Bone games, as well as one of my Sierra favorites, Torin’s Passage.

It’s a humorous game, but it seems to focus more on revealing a good story than telling ten jokes a minute. (Not that there’s anything wrong with ten jokes a minute!) It won Best Story in the German Game Developer Awards last year, which gives me high hopes.
