Description
'From the back cover:
Whispers in the Walls - a solo horror journaling game about about the knowledge of the walls.
As you draw cards from your whispers deck, you'll be directed to prompts to write as the P.I. trying to solve a mystery. Decipher what the walls, ceiling, and floors are telling you. Keep notes on what you think it all means and ultimately conclude the truth.
A session takes 15-60 minutes and each is unique!

- Endgame trigger (Jokers) — If you ever draw both Jokers that will trigger the end of the game.
- journaling — A pure journaling game.
