The world needs more online co-op games. A multiplayer murder mystery game, Whispers in the West, is set to be revealed during the upcoming Steam Next Fest in June.
Whispers in the West was first announced this April as one of the London Games Festival 2022 Official Selection games. It is a point-and-click mystery game for 1-4 players that supports online co-op. Imagine Among Us but with stories, or Ace Attorney but online co-op. The game sets in the far reaches of the Wild West. Each story is a unique and intriguing mystery waiting to be solved. To succeed, the players need to work as a team and debate amongst themselves.
After 12 months of development, a demo will be released on the Steam platform on 13 June 2022, during the upcoming Steam Next Fest. However, this will not be the first time the game entered the public eye. Prior to the release, a dozen Twitch streamers were invited to preview the game. And here is what they say about the game:

Based on the developer of the game, Team Dissonant (Twitter: @TeamDissonant) - a small indie studio based in the UK - the game so far has received incredible feedback during private preview sessions - Almost everyone who played Whispers in the West described it as a truly innovative game; more than 90% of players who played Whispers in the West are happy to recommend the game to their friends. However, speaking about the big reveal, the developers are nervous about setting the expectation too high - being a small studio, constrained by funding and experience, they hope to get more feedback through the initial demo release and continue perfect the experience.
Moreover, the team’s ambition does not stop at the demo release They plan to release more mystery stories after the initial reveal. They also built the custom narrative engine with User-generated Content in mind, to enable players to write their own mysteries in the future!
