Step into the cursed fog of 1998 with Whisper Mountain Outbreak, a co-op survival horror experience that blends retro pixel grit with modern multiplayer madness. From the eerie whispers echoing through Mt. Bisik’s abandoned corridors to the frantic teamwork needed to escape its haunted grip, this is no ordinary outbreak; it’s a full-blown descent into puzzle-packed paranoia. Whether you’re scavenging herbs or solving cryptic locks, every moment feels like a throwback to the golden age of horror, reimagined for today’s thrill-seeking squads.

Whisper Mountain Outbreak Preview Pros

• Beautiful pixel art graphics. 
• 1.11GB download size. 
• Display settings – resolution, window mode, graphics preset, v-sync, limit fps, minimap rotation, fps and rtt, and chat log. 
• You can remap the controls for the controller. 
• Audio settings – master volume, music, sfx, ambient, and voice sliders. Set voice chat to toggle or push to talk, and set your microphone. 
• Gameplay settings – language, screen shake intensity (off/low/normal/high), sprint mode (hold/toggle), skip intro dialogue, skip controls at game start, and skip tutorials. 
• Two ways to play – solo and co op game modes. 
• Two current game difficulties – Hollow and normal. (It does show placeholders for two further difficulties). 
• Three classes to play as – Sprinter, Medic, and Rookie agent. Each has unique starting equipment or stats. 
• The wardrobe lets you customise your character’s head, body, and uniform colour. 
• Every game you start in the HQ, and you can freely walk around, practice melee attacks on dummies, shoot bottles in the shooting range, use the wardrobe, etc. 
• Clear, easy to read HUD, the life bar is just like the one in the original Resident Evil games, where it has a heartbeat monitor running through it and says if you are fine or in danger of death. 
• An isometric 3D game world where you can turn the character 360 degrees and use the d-pad to move the camera around in increments. 
• The game is heavily inspired by the original Resident Evil games, not just the hub, but the atmosphere, the characters, music, etc. 
• Missions are selected on the inboard; you have to finish one to unlock more, and you can replay them. 
• The HQ is cool as it’s a Police station, as I said, you can move and interact in it. After selecting a mission, you get into the cop vehicle and drive out. 
• There is a ton of style, the maps for locations are cool to see and are a clear homage to a certain game series I don’t need to mention yet again, as I’m not getting paid for the promotion. 
• Stamina-based system for combat, so aimlessly swinging will tire you out and leave you vulnerable. Running will also deplete it. 
• The radio is used to chat with teammates and works based on proximity chat and range. 
• Combat is fine, you just have to remember it’s basically a twin stick shooter style control system, so you are always facing the right way. 
• You can pause the game in solo play. 
• Controller button prompts on interactive elements, loot, etc and picking anything up shows in the chat log. 
• You can drop and combine items in your inventory. 
• The mini map and compass really help with play, as each room has a name, making it easier to call out for help. 
• A lot of tension and atmosphere due to the lighting, the music, but also that zombies can just attack En masse at any point. You get a brief warning, but it’s never enough time. 
• Lockpick mini game where you press the button at the right time to line up the parts of the lock. 
• Assign items to a shortcut menu, which is a godsend for healing. 
• It’s a game that has so much charm and playability, you will lose hours to it. 
• Collect resources for crafting. 
• In combat, getting hit or low on health leaves blood on the screen. You can knock zombies down and attack them. 
• Many Breakable objects for possible loot, exploding barrels and pipes, etc, for environmental attacks, and you can loot loads of things like filing cabinets, vending machines, etc. 
• Puzzle elements are scattered throughout the levels. 
• You only get one life, and if you die, you lose everything. This makes solo play a lot tougher. 
• Man, it’s proper satisfying when you nail a run. 
• When you have to extract, you click the van and then have a wait timer. 
• End of level breakdown showing time taken, any unlocks you earned and collected loot. 
• Earn skill points to unlock new skills, and they are split up into categories like combat and health. 
• Main storage lets you put stuff in from runs, and you can then take them out on future runs. 
• In multiplayer, you can revive each other. 
• There is something here; it’s laid the foundation, and that’s strong. 
• Online has two options currently – create a room and join a room. The quick join option is greyed out. 

Whisper Mountain Outbreak Preview Cons

• You have to enter a username, and you cannot use the controller; it has to be a keyboard. I mean, when I shut the game down, the text box came up, so it must be a bit buggy. 
• No Steam achievements. 
• Text in the menus can overlap with each other, the microphone choice being a prime example. 
• I’m not always a huge fan of the camera, as in the heat of battle, it’s another thing to think about and move. 
• There are no real tutorials or ones that really help. 
• The lock picking is very tedious and doesn’t play smoothly at all. 
• Combat can be a bit frustrating as you can struggle to get away from enemies, hits with a melee weapon don’t slow them down or knock them back, it just feels at times you’re gonna get hurt regardless of your actions. 
• You cannot save mid-run at all. 
• I don’t like that once you click into a section in skills, you cannot back out and look at another one, especially the first time around, and you want to know what’s in each section.
