I'm excited to share that Whispers in the Moss has been awarded a great 90/100 rating by Finland's top gaming magazine, Pelit, in their October issue, along with the prestigious "Pelit Recommends" stamp!

The thorough two-page review highlights the game as a classic RPG adventure crafted with care, skill, and attention to detail. Pelit praised the unique visual style and polished systems, adding that "the story is not that bad either." The game's soundtrack was highlighted as a particular "crown jewel". Overall, Whispers in the Moss is said to set a new bar in terms of ambition for games with this kind of retro aesthetic.

Additionally, the game was also featured in two other Finnish magazines, Pelaaja and Skrolli, in their September issues. Always a pleasure to witness some textmode art in a print magazine, so if you're in Finland, be sure to grab a copy of each!

Best regards,
– Tapio
