I really want to like this game, but I just can't. The developer made all the bad choices compared to the first game. There is only one location to investigate, and it is huge yet it feels empty. The ghosts all feel the same, they are procedurally generated, they don't have unique stories or characteristics. It's just a randomly generated thing from a limited pool of options. The ghost levelling system is way worse …

Among the Whispers: Provocation is the loose sequel to Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I. (CSPPI). There are inherent similarities and vast improvements to the original in terms of game play and flow. As per the usual, the offers from this game are not for everyone but are still rather unique. The Good: The first person perspective is great. You can look down and see the main character’s body and the small details …

Among The Whispers is a ghost-hunting sim for the methodical and the morbidly curious. It trades cheap scares for creeping dread, rewarding careful investigation and emotional storytelling inside a haunted mansion that feels like it’s watching you back. The new provocation system adds strategic risk to every EVP session, and the ghosts? They remember. If you want horror with brains, depth, and just enough danger to …

I'm genuinely conflicted — if a neutral rating were possible, I’d probably go with that. The first 50 minutes were a delight. The UI is intuitive, the tutorial does a great job explaining the core mechanics, and the gameplay is engaging right from the start. The atmosphere is exactly what I hoped for, and everything ran smoothly — aside from some frame drops during faster camera movements, which were mildly annoying …

As a playtester I want to write my review like quite early (and I possibly will forget about it if I don't do it now..). So don't be confused, why I do not have that much playtime (yet!), I did play the playtest version! (: This game is (for me personally) really unique. Why? Let me tell you: - Unique Ghost Models (nothing out of any store or could be found in every spooky game, no, unique) - a provocation mechanic, …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe i am missing something, but at the time of me writing this review the game is definitely not as good as Conrad, their first game, saying that Provocation is not a bad game and i have generally had a good time. (Things being subject to change too as the dev is seemingly looking for and listening to feedback) You have your one big(and i mean big) mansion map that you get to explore which is pretty cool, And you get some story tidbits that you can add to your archive and learn more about…

neutral · AI labelView post →Yet again this same developer has created a ghost hunting game that feels realistic, just like it's predecessor Conrad Stevenson's Paranormal P.I. The overall atmosphere is great, the gathering of evidence, listening to what the ghosts have to say and researching the names on Fallen Apple is probably my favourite part too, satisfying when I get it right. I had a ghost that gave me a clue on her death when she showed herself, and shouted out loud how she died, which gave me an "aha! I found who…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so the idea is good but the map is very confusing and its hard to tell when the ghost is at level 5 to be able to do anything endgame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm enjoying this game a lot. I loved the last one from this dev so I expected to like this one. *PRAISE* - Love the setting. Spooky living spaces are just perfect for ghost hunting. Big mansions are rivalled only by hotels, IMO. - I do like that the investigation is connected to a story this time around. It gives the gameplay loop something to hold onto. - Despite the fact that I find some parts of the audio experience upsetting (see below), I think there is a lot of cool audio in the game.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really interesting premise and I love the atmosphere! However, the use of generative AI to decorate the mansion is honestly not needed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Among the Whispers: Provocation (AWP) is the successor to Conrad Stevenson's Paranormal P.I. (CSPPI). Fans of the first game are going to feel right at home with AWP since the gameplay loop is essentially the same; 1) Do research on the ghosts at a headquarters / basecamp 2) Locate the ghost 3) Learn about the spirit through use of ghost-hunting equipment 4) Release the ghost once you have sufficient evidence about who the ghost was in life and how they died. AWP takes a separate approach to…

Full review: ------------------------- This is a really fun game! This was my first experience in the "Conrad Stevenson universe" (for lack of a better term.)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR - it's fine. I don't hate it, but it's not what I would call a successor to CSPPI. It's more of a slight resemblance to CSPPI with less emphasis on ghost hunting. I'm pretty disappointed. As you can see, I have not been able to postively stand on one side or the other of pro/con. I had to delete my previous Thumbs up and redo this because finishing the game has changed my mind. ---- Pro: 1. The video clips 2. The accurate tools, ghost types, individual release rituals for each type. VERY…

Pros: - ghost hunting with the ability to turn jumpscares off - Can turn the nerve mode off and not be scared - Excellent setting detail! - Ghost hunting mechs are awesome Cons: - Sometimes releasing a ghost was majorly bugged. At times, I would have to rotate my standing position like 3-4 times because she kept saying, "what was I going to say?" And even when I was able to select a person, hobby, and death, they would just…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who loves to ghost hunt, CSPPI was an absolute breath of fresh air. I played it countless times, waiting for the dev to finish the game off by giving us the missing places he teased on the map. Fast forward a year or so and he announces this pile of garbage. Because of CS I did pick this up, but its trash. Clearly the dev doesnt know the sayin "if aint broke, dont fix it." Look at this now, hardly anyone who cares to play it so he dropped the price to 10 bucks. In all honesty i would…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am two hours into the game and have accomplished nothing due to game constantly crashing and not saving tutorial progress. P.I. ran so well, I did not expect this one to be so frustrating. (Edit: Steamdeck experience)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy as hell. You can't even complete the tutorial without hitting 3-4 critical ones. E.g.: * Map not working at the stage where you need it the most; * Location icons disappearing so you can't assign a ghost to a location; * Relic not being recognized (possibly because you can't link a location, but tutorial prompts don't suggest that). This was my third attempt to do the tutorial, the audio recorded for the cause of death provocation was clearly buzzing wasps and cries.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really fun. I like the in depth immersion you get when navigating the interior of the mansion along with the different types of ghosts there are to discover their secrets and help them move on. The use of all the different types of equipment you have at your disposal helps keep things fresh and interesting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great spin on Conrad Stevenson's. If you liked Conrad, you would probably like this game. It's a fun twist on the genre. After my 2 playthroughs, here is what I think. PROS: - 1; The ghost types are actually realistic. All ghosts are ghosts, they just have different behavior. Unlike most phasmo clones, different ghost types are more like flavor. -2; The research mechanic is gold. The ghost is an actual person that died tragically rather than just some random NPC. - 3; The best…

neutral · AI labelView post →this is not a finished game, the tutorial is full of flaws(overlapping text for example) and explains the obvious very well but leave a lot of confusion for the more complex mechanics, the tools are annoying to use and the camcorder just stops recording if it gets full even after deleting all the clips, then as i got to the end of the tutorial i was no longer able to pause the game to actually look up important information, this would all be forgivable if the game was in early access, but it is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely loved Conrad Stevenson's Paranormal P.I. and I have looked forward to this game ever since finishing that one. This one is similar but different! While I prefer the story-driven style of CSPPI, this game offers the same gameplay in shorter bursts. There isn't a hub with collectibles and progress and the same ghosts who have stories and resolutions to their hauntings spread among multiple spooky locations. Instead, AtW:P launches you immediately in one location (a big, dark…

positive · AI labelView post →A really fun game that tests your awareness and catches you off guard with unexpected jump scares. It's also fun trying to figure out who you're dealing with. The ghost's audio cues are often tied to how they died, their hobbies, or even phrases they used when they were alive. You need these to exorcise the ghosts
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game. You learn about the ghosts that haunt an old mansion. What happened in their past life and why they still haunt the halls. Help them cross over and move on. Bring peace to the mansion and the family living in it. It has jump scares that can sends chills through your body, darned shadows. If you play this, which I hope you do, don't rush through it. Take your time, explore. You never know what you'll find in this large old mansion full of secrets.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been looking forward to this game ever since the fun I had with CSPPI. It's going to take a little bit of time to get used to the technical side...lots of keybinds, and lots of evidence to manage. Had a glitch in my first investigation, but I'm sure the dev will get right on it. It's spookier than CSPPI, but then again, nobody has nerves of steel like Conrad himself. Looking forward to seeing more of the house and understanding the mechanics. Always love me some haunted mansions, and the ghost…

First, the tutorial ghost got stuck in the dining room table and stopped moving or responding to questions and was always visible, so i restarted. Must've just been a fluke right? The next ghost drained my nerve (a game mechanic), but i never regained the ability to do provocations even at 100% nerve. I turned nerve…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only had the chance to play through the tutorial and the first ghost investigation after that, but this game has been loads of fun so far! Great story, voice acting, and cool tools to catch (and release) those ghosts with. I don't get a lot of time to game anymore and this is my first PC game in like 15 years, but I'm enjoying it. I like being able to only have to do one ghost at a time and then exit or leave the game paused to do chores or work and then come back and pick up where I left…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a lot of fun once you get into it. The tutorial has a lot of information, and I had a weird glitch that I couldn't move past it. But, the discord community was very helpful and I was able to continue in the game. I enjoy the slower pace, and all the lore. It is very satisfying to release a ghost. There is a LOT to learn, and it is a little confusing at first. If you are lost, I highly recommend the discord, or YouTube videos.

There was also a time wherein the map wasn't showing under Tab/"Location" -- had to go back to the Main Menu to see if that fixes it -- it fixed it after. Also got stuck on tutorial wherein I had to check-off/get evidence of audio &…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A worthy successor to Conrad Stevenson's Paranormal P.I. Nice and large location, Doesn't get stale on gameplay and keeps you on your toes. No demons yet (Hopefully we get to see 1 or 2 in upcoming updates maybe?) The only gripe i have is with crashing but that is to be expected with a map this large and so much happening, Hotfixes and bug crushing will fix that but its defo a great purchase if you like slow paced and jumpscarey horror games. Would absolutely reccomend
