#The whispered world full#

King on His Deathbed: The King of Corona.

Jerkass: Ben isn't shy about giving Sadwick shit he doesn't even take Sadwick seriously about how deeply the kid resents him for all the abuse.

We don't know what happened to him, only that he is in a very deep coma.

Ill Boy: The little boy in the hospital in the real world.

I Can't Reach It: Typical for an adventure game, but somewhat justified by Sadwick's self-defeating attitude he often won't even try to do something because he assumes that he will fail.

Human Cannonball: Part of Sadwick's act, and also used for multiple puzzles.

Harmless Villain: The Rock Bros., who wish to enslave the world, but are hindered by the fact that they're merely a couple of talking rocks.

Fake-Out Fade-Out: If you try to get back into Silence ten times when between the mirrors, you get to see a fake ending with Sadwick sitting in nothingness as king, pouting before he complains how bored he is and the game putting you back between the mirrors.

Fainting Seer: Shana, the oracle of the Autumn Forest.

Evil Overlord: Loucaux, Lord of the Asgil.

The Eeyore: Sadwick often waxes on his own uselessness and the futility of his existence.

The End of the World as We Know It: What Sadwick is prophesied to bring about.

Deadpan Snarker: Sadwick is often this.

Sadwick: No animals were harmed in the making of this game.

Cruelty Is the Only Option: You'll need all of Spot's transformation abilities to progress through the game, but getting those abilities often involves doing things to Spot that would kill or seriously injure a non-shapeshifter.

Circus Brat: Sadwick, who lives at the circus with his grandfather and older brother.

Chekhov's Boomerang: Grandpa's pantaloons.

Attacking the sick boy between the mirrors is also not an option, even though Sadwick briefly considers doing it. Trying to go back to Silence won't work, unless you're stubborn enough to try ten times in a row, and even then all you get is a Fake-Out Fade-Out.

But Thou Must!: The only way to end the game is to smash the mirror that leads to the real world.

That's one reason why Sadwick volunteers to do his job. Broken Ace: It becomes apparent that Bobby the Chaski (elite messenger/spy/warrior) is a Lovable Coward at best after a few minutes conversation with him.Sadwick: I'm too short to reach the shelf.

It's a long journey, full of trials and tribulations, but Sadwick refuses to let either his own insecurities or the very real dangers in his path dissuade him from fighting against fate. To do that, he needs to carry a magical artifact called the Whispering Stone to Corona, to the King's Castle. Sadwick, despite his tendency towards pessimism, refuses to accept his destiny as a destroyer, and takes it upon himself to save the world. At the messenger's direction, Sadwick seeks out the oracle Shana, who tells him the meaning of his dreams: that he himself is prophesied to be the harbinger of the world's destruction. One day, Sadwick meets a messenger of the king on an important mission to prevent the impending apocalypse. It tells the story of Sadwick, a young, sad clown beset by nightmares which seem to foretell the End of the World. The Whispered World is a traditional point-and-click adventure game designed by Marco Hullen and developed by Daedalic Entertainment, featuring beautiful hand-drawn 2D graphics.
