Indie publisher Abstraction Games has confirmed that it is bringing Night Light Interactive's spooky adventure title Whispering Willows to the Wii U eShop.
Originally released on Ouya, the game features gorgeous 2D visuals and an haunting soundtrack. The unique hook is that you'll be able to exit the main character's body in spirit form and solve puzzles. It's expected to launch later this summer.
Here's the official PR:
Rich with narrative and filled with gorgeous hand-painted 2D visuals, Whispering Willows is a horror themed side-scrolling adventure where players take the role of Elena, a young girl determined to solve the mystery behind her missing father. Using a unique amulet gifted from her father, Elena possesses the extraordinary ability to project her spirit outside of her body. While in this spectral form, she can interact with the benevolent spirits and wicked wraiths that used to dwell within the walls of the sinister Willows Mansion. Help Elena use her astral projection to solve puzzles, help lost spirits, and uncover the mysteries behind her missing father.

That sounds like my kind of thing, yes!
Always keen to see more good eShop titles.
Looks interesting. Reminds me of Ghost Trick. Anyone know how it was received on Ouya?
Reviewers and users seems to agree: an original but short game (3 hours) focused more on storytelling than gameplay.
@andreoni79 - Cheers, that sounds pretty good to me! As long as the price is right for a 3 hour experience. I don't always have the time for long games any more and I'm starting to gravitate towards short but sweet experiences.
Do want.
looks like it might be cool
Reminds me of htoL#NiQ. Might check it out.
This just makes me want a new Geist. Retrospectively, the biggest disappointment of E3.
Looks interesting
The Music makes me think of Decay http://www.decay.se/
Interesting. I'll keep an eye out.
This does look cool, for the right price
I do find it a bit sad that people only notice these great OUYA games when they jump ship from OUYA. Games like DUCK GAME, FullBlast, Towerfall snd Read Only Memories (The last of which is astounding IMO)
Looks good. I wouldn't call it horror though. There's nothing scary when the protagonist can turn into a ghost and then turn back.
Ghost Trick... I bought that game purely because I'd heard one of the characters was inspired by Michael Jackson! Brilliant game
@TheDavyStar exactly. Here in the US, Duck Game has been advertised as an Adult Swim game. It's been on OUYA over a year. Damn good game, as well as Willow.
@shinynewbicycles Five stars on OUYA. One of their better sellars.
It looks interesting and I want to see more.
Excited. Day one purchase.
Looks lovely. I want to know more.
Does anyone remember that cancelled wii game winter? That's something I'll always be bummed out by that it looked like silent hill meets the thing, here's the old e3 footage.

Yeah...the game looks great and has some good ideas, but it really wasn't all that good in my opinion. Too slow paced and not all that interesting.
Count me in!
Looks interesting, with a little bit of Ghost trick.
