The Whispered World is a 2009 German point-and-click adventure video game developed by Daedalic Entertainment and published by Deep Silver[2] in Europe and by Viva Media[3] in the United States.
The player holds the left mouse button over objects or characters to bring up an interaction menu with "look", "talk", and "use" options.
The game takes place in Silentia, a dream fantasy world, that is the home of a young, sad circus clown named Sadwick.
The story starts as he wakes up in his travelling circus trailer after having experienced a recurring nightmare, where he sees the world falling apart.
He claims the end of the world is near and the land is already breaking apart and that the Asgil, a hideous horde of underground creatures, are surrounding Corona.
After successfully escaping, he manages to board a flying steam locomotive to Corona, where he meets Bobby again who tells Sadwick that he is too late and the king has locked himself in his quarters.
He meets the royal astronomer who tells him the Whispering Stone represents the planet Silentia in the model of 5 planets and the king must repair the system to restore the balance, but he has fallen ill, and only when the system is repaired can it activate the fountain of the Water of Life that can wake the king.
The Asgil occupy what is left of the castle, but Sadwick manages to trick Loucaux and reactivates the planetary mechanism again, restoring the cadence of time.
However, in 2007, the relatively new Daedalic Entertainment acquired the rights to the project and re-hired Marco Hüllen and the game was subsequently finished and released in 2009.
