It's felt like a long time in coming, but at long last players can purchase The Whispered World for themselves, as the game is now shipping to retailers.

The highly-anticipated 2D fantasy adventure needs no introduction by now, as the tale of the depressed little clown Sadwick and his shapeshifting caterpillar pet Spot has been well documented. Warned in a prophecy about the end of the world that he himself will help bring about, Sadwick and Spot must set out into the Autumn Forest in order to change the current course of events. To catch up on the latest details about this game, be sure to check out our recent preview.

The Whispered World is now shipping in the UK and will soon be released in North America as well. The game is also available now through digital distribution at The Adventure Shop.
