Developers Deconstructeam and Selkie Harbour have announced Many Nights a Whisper, a meditative third-person archery game where the player must take part in a ritual that determines the fate of your people. It will launch for PC via Steam this spring.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
A short interactive essay on dreams, pressure, and expectations. Take part in an ancient ritual where one shot determines the fate of a generation.
Ten years ago, you were chosen to perform a ritual.
Many Nights a Whisper is a meditative third-person archery game. Under the gentle guidance of your mentor, you will train to land an impossibly distant shot. Practice tirelessly, honing your skill for the sacred ceremony that will shape the future of your people. Succeed, and their wishes will come true, bringing a decade of prosperity. Should you fail, ten years of calamity will follow, and their hopes will be lost to the winds.
Ah, and you only have one shot.
No pressure.
Key Features
- Short and Thought-Provoking – Playtime: 50 to 75 minutes. Delve into the routine of the Dreamer, the person chosen to perform this critical ceremony. Engage with your mentor in warm and intimate discussions. Listen to the townsfolk at the Confession Wall, weigh their whispers, and decide whether to grant their wishes.
- Test Your Marksmanship – Master the sacred slingshot, a mystical device strung with human hair. Carefully aim, adjust for distance, and land fireballs into ancient chalices scattered across a ruin-sewn archipelago.
- Dreamy Soundscape – Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the Mediterranean Sea, accompanied by a mesmerizing soundtrack composed by fingerspit.
