Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I created Whisper of the Swallows to offer a unique experience, blending survival, poetry, and mystery.
The Early Access version is already fully playable, with two vast regions to explore and dozens of hours of content.

But I want to go much further: new regions, creatures, and mechanics will expand the world throughout development.

Before that, I want to make sure players truly enjoy living this adventure.
That’s why I’m opening Early Access, so you can discover, explore, and influence the game’s balance and gameplay before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 12 months.
Alongside gameplay improvements, I’ll gradually add new regions and creatures before the full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release will feature:
- Refined and balanced gameplay thanks to community feedback
- Additional regions to explore and a complete narrative arc”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable:
- Two complete regions: Unshū (Land of Breath) and Jukaï (Forest of Whispers)
- All core mechanics implemented: survival, crafting, building, combat, portals, and quests
- Dozens of hours of gameplay to explore and complete these vast regions
- A procedurally generated world, offering strong replayability”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price will be lower during Early Access and will increase as the game grows closer to its full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Your feedback is essential. You will be able to share your impressions and suggestions through:
- The official Discord server, to talk directly with the team and other players
- An in-game feedback form, quick and easy to fill in
- The Steam forums, for open and ongoing discussions
- Occasional surveys, to help guide future updates”

About This Game

The gods have abandoned this world, leaving it to the mercy of relentless storms and the unearthly shrieks of the Black Wailers that hunt in the dark. In this vast, procedurally generated wilderness, every night is a test of survival, and every dawn is a victory earned.
Playable solo or with up to 6 players in online co-op, Whisper of the Swallows is a brutal survival experience where your goal is not just to endure the chaos, but to tame it.

Survive a World That Wants You Dead

The environment itself is your greatest enemy. The biting cold will sap your strength, and raging blizzards can appear without warning, turning a simple expedition into a desperate fight for shelter. You must learn to read the world, respect its power, and use your creativity to find refuge where there is none. When the wind howls, a single flame becomes a promise of survival.

Harness the Wilderness

Every tree, rock, and creature is a resource waiting to be claimed. Hunt wildlife for sustenance, gather materials from the ancient forests, and delve into forgotten caves for rare minerals. Through a deep crafting system, you will turn the raw gifts of this savage land into the tools, weapons, and armor you need to push deeper into the unknown and face the nightmares that await.

Build Your Sanctuary

Master a detailed, piece-by-piece building system to construct your refuge from the chaos. Whether it's a tiny, desperate shelter to survive a blizzard, or a sprawling, multi-story lodge for your entire party, your creativity is your greatest defense. Huddle around the campfire with friends, listen as the storm rages against the walls you built together, and find a moment of peace in a world that offers none.

Master an Unforgiving World

Success is earned, not given. Hone your prowess through skill-based combat where a well-timed dodge is the difference between life and death. Your ultimate purpose is to banish the darkness that seals each region. Explore the world, uncover its secrets, and perform the final ritual to permanently transform the land. Your actions are not temporary - you will leave a lasting mark on the world, turning a hellscape into a place of hope.

Your Journey Awaits

  • Influence a harsh, procedurally generated world, ensuring no two journeys are ever
    the same.
  • Endure extreme, dynamic weather events that demand careful planning and
    respect.
  • Unite with up to 6 players in a co-op experience where teamwork is a lifeline.
  • Build intricate shelters and structures with a detailed piece-by-piece system.
  • Progress your skills organically based on your actions and playstyle.
  • Discover a deep crafting system to create and upgrade the gear you need to survive.
  • Engage in skill-based combat where timing and strategy are your greatest weapons.

The darkness is listening. Will you answer?
