Murmures is a Steam game that explores reactions instead of the “conceal don’t feel” mentality. Where a single mother manages to overcome and live with her big messy feelings as she goes about her day.
Near a park in the middle of nowhere, the protagonist stands in a door, after a press and hold mechanic, she seems to “calm” allowing to “Roll the dice.” There are two dice with different numbers on them, and each one is assigned to a choice. It seems when you roll past the scores on each dice, you can complete an action. In this first case she rolled past the “9” needed to “Open the door” thus she was able to exit. Each move tells a story, the first one was facing her fears. However, it seems the building is semi on fire despite massive snow.
The protagonist walks around in a room, while a “Dr Walter Freedman” shares criticism that shines, wanting her to control herself. There’s a hint of a tentacle monster close to the exit that the protagonist must avoid. The protagonist and her son come out from the burning building and walk into the parking lot. It has destroyed cars in it. They also go into a run down and dirty public bathhouse with no one inside. There are more interior spots as the two stumble upon a trash can and retrieve Milo’s dice. From there there’s a multi roll quetion that the protagonist has to undertake. After putting the dice in, the protagonist gets to “look through the window” and it’s drawn on paper, the paper this time says dangerous. It seems the paper messages may also alert the protagonist of danger. The protagonist walks in the parking lot, getting hit with literal truth bombs, as they cross through an oil filled nature area, then a tall beautiful house stands tall.
