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.It tells the story of Sadwick, a young, sad clown beset by nightmares which seem to foretell the End of the World. One day, Sadwick meets a messenger of the king on an important mission to prevent the impending apocalypse. 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.Sadwick, despite his tendency towards pessimism, refuses to accept his destiny as a destroyer, and takes it upon himself to save the world. To do that, he needs to carry a magical artifact called the Whispering Stone to Corona, to the King's Castle. 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.The game a sequel titled Silence, which tales place a few years after this game, and where we follow Noah and his sister Renie as they travel to this world, called Silence.

Lethal Chef: Sadwick's grandpa makes petroleum soup, among other abhorrent concoctions. Sadwick tells of a time when Grandpa accidentally read the map instead of a recipe and made Northeast for lunch. The Asgil chefs are this as well, though their food is delicious for other Asgil.

Bittersweet Ending: Sadwick chooses to sacrifice himself and Silence to save the sick boy, leading to a heartwarming scene of the boy waking up in the hospital and his overjoyed father hugging him. The bitter part comes into play when the final scene shows the boy looking into a mirror to see Sadwick watch him with pure sorrow in his eyes.

But Thou Must!
 The Whispered World (Video Game) / int_504e271f
comment
But Thou Must!: The only way to end the game is to smash the mirror that leads to the real world. 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. Attacking the sick boy between the mirrors is also not an option, even though Sadwick briefly considers doing it.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Repeatedly in chapter 4. Sadwick just can't catch a break. He fixes the astrolab only to summon the big talking Sphere that plans to destroy the world, then stops the Sphere only to freeze time and enable the Asgil to take over, then stops Loucaux only to summon the Sphere again.

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.

Shout-Out: To I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream: When Sadwick comes across a wall that seems like it should open, he tries "Open Sesame", "Mellon" and "Ken sent me". Neither work. When asked about how he reached the capital so quickly, which was what Sadwick was trying to accomplish through majority proportion of the game, Bobby said he just had his Hearthstone still set to the castle courtyard.
