Whispering Shadows: The Haunting Asylum

Whispering Shadows is a reimagination of the Fatal Frame series, set in America. Players take on the roles of twin brothers, Tyler and Mason, aged 16. The game features survival horror elements with a supernatural twist, as the brothers explore an abandoned asylum plagued by paranormal entities. The gameplay mechanics closely resemble those of the Fatal Frame series, where players use a camera with exorcism powers to capture and defeat enemies.
== Characters ==
# Tyler Anderson: The older twin brother who is not on the Autism spectrum. He is brave, resourceful, and protective of his younger brother, Mason. Tyler acts as the player character and is responsible for keeping Mason safe throughout the game.
# Mason Anderson: The younger twin brother who is on the Autism spectrum (PDD). He is shy, intelligent, and has a deep fascination with puzzles and technology. Mason's unique perspective and abilities play a crucial role in solving puzzles and uncovering the secrets of the asylum.
# Dr. Olivia Bennett: A former researcher at the asylum who aids the twins from outside. She provides guidance, research materials, and communicates with the brothers through a handheld device. Dr. Bennett unravels the dark history of the asylum and guides the twins toward the truth.
# The Asylum Spirits: Malevolent entities haunting the abandoned asylum. They were once patients or staff who fell victim to the asylum's horrific practices. These spirits become increasingly hostile as the twins delve deeper into the asylum, targeting them as sacrifices for an ancient ritual.
== Mechanics and Challenges ==
Throughout the game, Tyler and Mason must navigate the dark and decaying corridors of the asylum, using their camera's exorcism powers to capture the spirits and protect themselves. The camera is their primary tool for survival, and each spirit requires a specific technique to defeat. Tyler is responsible for aiming and taking the photographs, while Mason assists by spotting hidden spirits and offering puzzle-solving assistance.
However, certain encounters and environmental triggers may overwhelm Mason, causing him to experience autistic meltdowns. These meltdowns temporarily incapacitate Mason, making him unable to assist Tyler or effectively use his camera. It is up to Tyler to calm his brother down and bring him back into the game, utilizing his knowledge of Mason's needs to soothe him and continue their journey.
== Endings ==
The game offers multiple endings based on the choices made by the players throughout the story. The endings include:
# True Ending: The twins successfully unravel the mystery, disrupt the ritual, and banish the malevolent spirits. They manage to escape the asylum together, forever changed but bonded by their experiences.
# Sacrifice Ending: The twins, in a desperate attempt to save each other, willingly sacrifice themselves to seal the spirits within the asylum, preventing them from escaping and causing further harm.
# Unleashed Ending: If the players fail to uncover the truth or make misguided decisions, the ancient ritual is completed, resulting in the spirits being unleashed upon the world. The twins' fate remains unknown.
