TYPO FIX: It was "Project Stargate", not Stardust. Clearly I was just thinking of great fantasy movies featuring Robert De Niro. Happens all the time.

Aside from the [REDACTED] Incident, the lore around Casting Whispers is arguably just history in 1961:
- Duke University was studying ESP since the 30s, watched by the CIA, prior to Project Stardust in the 70s.
- Dialing "911" did not exist yet.

There's a lot in Casting Whispers that is really only noticed by the observant and paranoid. And this is not one of the subtle ones.

As Victoria gets closer and closer to what's going on, the building starts to change around her. Faces appear on parts part of the building, strange growths start to emerge, and elements of the world become more warped and alien.

Thank you very much for the feedback! I checked out the VOD for your stream and I'm glad to say that in the latest version of the demo, motion blur and head sway have both been enabled as toggles in the settings! Thank you for checking it out and letting me know!

Congratulations to the team of Silence Hill F for one million units sold globally! When making Casting Whispers, I wanted to capture a similar kind of thick atmosphere and emotional unease. It's great to see them doing so well!

The first substantial Demo update is now live! I've improved a variety of things that players wanted (quality of life improvements, clarity improvements, performance, bugs) and now it is live!
Here are the patch notes:

I hope you don't have a slow creeping feeling of claustrophobia. That would be a shame.

I've been partnering with the same artist (no AI) who did the logo seen around the game to get in the achievement art and it's been very exciting to see it coming together! Here's a taste!

It's been very fun to collaborate with Greg from How 2 Drink He plays a couple characters in the full game! The game has a secret easter egg related to this video of his. I'm excited to see who catches it after launch!

If you've played the demo, I'd love to hear about it! I've already been making various improvements based on player experiences!
For example: The padlock and the gas valve were hard to see. So I made them easier to spot.
