Whispers in the Moss

"What a strange dream. A young man, chased by a pack of wolves..."

WHISPERS IN THE MOSS is a retro JRPG with beautiful and ambitious textmode / ASCII / ANSI-style graphics. Currently in development by Uncultured Games, the game is inspired by the 8 bit and 16 bit era greats and especially the early SquareSoft titles. Over 10 years in the making, Whispers in the Moss will be released in Q4 / 2023.

Three kids, living in the quiet fishing village of Thebes, find themselves sucked into an epic adventure with an empire seeking world dominance and a banished prince trying to set things right. While traveling the world, the party uncovers an even darker secret. Fiends of the underworld are on the move...
