Whisper in the Woods

Whisper in the Woods is an A.I.-assisted made game. ChatGPT was used to develop the story, setting, and characters, and suggest the game design. Midjourney was used to render concept art and the title card. I put the game together and decided upon the puzzles, battles, and overall gameplay.

About

Evelyn and Sarah are sisters who decide to take a camping trip out in the Whispering Woods as a way to reconnect. However, after an arguable, Sarah runs off and immediately goes missing! First, it was a scream, and then her flashlight was found lying on the ground.  As the older sister Evelyn, you must traverse the woods, maintain your sanity, survive the witches, and solve odd puzzles in order to find Sarah.
