RPG Gamers summary“Whispers of the Eyeless” is a storytelling strategy game set in the city of Aranthor, where the last descendent of the Old Faith is tasked to return forgotten Dead Gods to power. As the First Prophet of this New Age, the player will manage and grow a cult dedicated to these once-mighty deities.
In the bustling city where both new and old gods compete for control, the player will need to stay hidden, earning resources and experience through a comprehensive series of events spread across various city districts. Each district is unique and introduces its own host of foes which players must battle strategically in turn-based combat. This multifaceted gameplay is enriched with various district-specific events mechanics, providing a rich sense of history of inhabitants and culture of Aranthor.
Players will be focused on expanding their cult, which remains concealed beneath the city. The player must ensure their operations remain undetected from the newer gods and their forces, as discovery may lead to a potentially disastrous face-off. As the cult grows, followers can be promoted to Disciples and then enlisted for various tasks.
The Dead Gods require faith not only from their followers but also from the Prophet. The Prophet must wisely make use of their resources to build up their Sanctum, the base of operations. From building up the base to executing divine blessings or sacrifices, everything done in the Sanctum is to strengthen their cult’s hold over the city.
On top of that, players can customize their Sanctum, livening up their base of operations. The appearance of your sanctum will reflect the preference towards any particular Dead Gods: Wrath, Desire, or Madness. As the First Prophet, every decision counts and impacts the rise in power of these deities. You can favor one over the others or aim for a balanced approach. It’s interesting to see such an active, dynamic divinity system at work in this game.
To sum up, “Whispers of the Eyeless” seems to offer a compelling narrative and strategic gameplay, packed in a vibrant world. It presents a multifaceted experience, where players’ choices shape the story and world around them.
