- Mac version now available! - 30 January 2023
I have some great news today. You can now play The Whispering Valley on Mac! Sorry it took me so long to release it. Since I still don't have a Mac, I couldn't test the build so I had to wait on someone lending me one. I did my tests on a Macbook Air and it ran well, so there shouldn't be any issues on more performing computers. But if you encounter any problems, please let me know! Olivier
- Help us reach 50 reviews (we are almost there!) - 10 January 2023
Last post I wrote about this worked well. Because of your help, we saw a 30% increase. I am so please that we are at 36 reviews and that most of them are positive! But to get our "very positive" rating, we need to reach the 50 reviews mark. To achieve this, we need your support! If you enjoyed The Whispering Valley, please consider leaving a review. It could be a very short one if you don't have much time. This would help us tremendously in making our next point & click horror game! Thank you for your support!
- Road to 50 reviews (we are halfway there!) - 21 December 2022
Hello! As you might know, reaching the 50 reviews mark is quite important. Instead of having a "positive" rating, we would get a "very positive" one. It might not sound as much, but it is! It would give us way more visibility on Steam! To achieve this, we need your support! If you enjoyed The Whispering Valley, please consider leaving a review. It could be a very short one if you don't have much time. This would help us tremendously in making our next point & click horror game! I am also taking this opportunity to tell you how happy I am about the game reception and sales. Thank you to all of you who bought and/or share the game. I am excited for what's next! Thank you!

- Quickfix: Doctor house loading issue - 6 December 2022
Another day another quickifx. You can't say I am slow to react to your bug reports! So this update is fixing an issue related to loading a save file in the doctor's house. Short story: if you saved & quit while next to the examination table on the second floor, you would appear outside of the map on load. This should be fixed now. Also I took the opportunity to remove a few trees next to the hunter's house so it is easier to see.
- Quickfix: Puzzles readability - 5 December 2022
Third quickfix patch since the release and that one isn't related to a bug but to the readability of two puzzles: one in the inn and one in the presbytery. Without any spoilers, I know some of you had trouble solving this puzzle so I made a few changes to a certain texture so it is more eye-catchy. Also I fixed a lightning problem in the presbytery so you can look around more easily.
- Quickfix #2 - 3 December 2022
For the next few days, I'll continue pushing quickfix updates as you report bugs that I can easily fix. So on this second quickfix... Fixed: Problem loading the doctor house scene after saving near the examination table and loading back into the game.
- Quickfix #1 - 2 December 2022
Quickfix patch for fixing three bugs 1) If you save a game while in close view (looking at something with a static cam), go to the main menu and load the game, your camera will be stuck. You need to re-launch the game. That's now fixed. 2) Unable to load the game after saving and exiting the game inside the presbytery. That's also fixed. 3) I also made some changes to the scene loading system to lower the chances of encountering a problem.

- The Whisperer, a prelude to The Whispering Valley - 23 July 2021
I have important news for you! So I have been planning a side-project for some time now. It was initially meant to be a post-release DLC to The Whispering Valley, but with the unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign, I changed my mind... I want you to have something to sink your teeth in while you wait for The Whispering Valley. The Whisperer is a short horror point & click game. It takes place in Lower Canada, 1813. Explore an abandoned trading post and solve a complex puzzle to investigate the terrible secret it holds. This is not a prologue to The Whispering Valley, but a standalone prelude. You won't have to play TW to get what's going on in TWV. It is entirely optional! The game won't be free, but it will be cheap. My price point is "large latté in Montréal", so around 6$ CAD. Add it to your wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1697940/The_Whisperer/
