The beautiful adventure game The Whispered World whisks the player away to a fascinating fantasy world. Sadwick is a young clown but often far from cheerful. One night, a strange blue creature speaks to him in a dream, and sends him on an adventurous journey. In classic point & click tradition, gamers steer Sadwick and his companion Spot through the game. Little Spot never leaves Sadwick's side and is integral to solving many puzzles. He can take on many different forms throughout the game, which the player can pick and choose at will, once they have been learned.

The Whispered World summary and achievement breakdown:
The Whispered World is a wonderful point click adventure game by Daedalic Entertainment. Filled to the brim with dry humor, sarcastic dialogue, and bizzare puzzle solving mechanics. The overall game was fun to play, and a good casual game to achievement hunt for.
Total Achievements: 20.
Time played: 9 Hours.
Achievement difficulty: Casual.
Missable achievements: Yes.
Total necessary playthroughs: 1-2.
Overall enjoyment: 5/5.
Satisfaction from achievement hunting: 4/5
Achievement hunting in The Whispered World is a pretty casual experience, that mostly relies on the players wit to achieve. However there are a number of achievements that
are missable, and without proper knowledge can lead to multiple playthroughs and overall frustration. Most of this knowledge can be gained by either playing the game twice, or doing your research on the meaning of each achievement before starting your own playthrough. Be cautious however, because there are spoilers to the story hidden in the achievements.
Nearly half of the achievements can be earned just by playing the game through to the end, and the rest thankfully aren't too difficult to earn depending on your own wit. I would say I really only struggled with one achievement throughout the entire game, and that was due to a random technical glitch.
So depending on your willingness to research the achievements, or your willingness to play the relatively short game twice, I would highly recommend achievement hunting to anyone who is interested in The Whispered World. it was a charming adventure with a twist of an ending, and one I am overall very fond of.

I bought this game due to my enjoyment of the Deponia franchise and I have to admit, it's a lot of fun. Very funny and the puzzles are very difficult, however in some cases that can be too difficult due to many items being almost too well hidden in the background. In some cases I couldn't find the item at all until the walkthrough mentioned it was there.
The ending is quite a twist and a very deep ending too. Worth a buy if you enjoy the Deponia series, though it has crashed every once and a while.
