The Journey to the Whispering Tree
A downloadable game
Once
upon a time, the Dreaming Forest was beautiful,
perfect. Fae and Human alike wandered into the Forest in their sleep,
walking the maneyed path to the Whispering Tree. Here, at the
Heart of the Forest, the Tree whispered all manner of things.
But whatever wish you whispered in
return, it would come true when you woke up! That is,
until the Lightning Beast came, hungry and despairing.
Everything is twisted now, dark, and terrifying. Flashes of
nightmares roam the forest. But you need this wish to come true, no
matter what. And so you venture forth, into the forest twisted by
nightmarish beasts, the tree waiting for you…

Jami! This game is absolutely amazing! It's mind blowing, that you can fit a whole, complete, playable game in such a small format... It has everything: neat character creation, 2 well designed evocative moves, main clock and an end goal, very smart in game economy etc.
I just LOVE your design <3. I'm introducing your games to my polish gaming groups - we've just finished a 2-sessions play of Whispering Tree and we're in the middle of the long Balikbayan campaign (after which we're planning to play Become One in the same group).
Just being curious - are you considering developing Journey to the Whispering Tree any further?
Greetings from Poland! Your work is AMAZING.
Hi! The files seem to have disappeared from the downloads... could you have a look please?
I totally missed that! Thank you so much, I've re-uploaded the file. It should work now I think!
