Empathy: Path of Whispers PC

Empathy is a surrealistic action adventure game for PC, focusing on exploration and intriguing story. It is a work of Sweden Pixel Night studio, established by group of experienced developers.

Plot

The game takes place in a fallen world, where cities are nothing more than home to small populations of people and life is almost non-existent. Players traverse this world as a child, who is led by mysterious spirit and tries to restore the world to its previous state. They will come across old memories of people of the past, knowing and using which will let them solve puzzles and find the truth behind the calamity.

Game mechanics

Empathy for PC uses first-person perspective (even though it was firstly developed as a classic point-and-click title) and very unusual way of storytelling. Players can take control of any character whose memories we find, which lets them see details of the world that aren’t visible with a naked eye. This can be used to reach seemingly inaccessible places, and combining this knowledge with items we find along the way is crucial for solving puzzles that progress the story.

Technical aspects

One of the strong points of Empathy for PC are its suggestive visuals. Created in Unreal Engine 4, they hive a truly artistic vibe to the surrealistic world of the game, which is as intriguing as its plot.
