Whispers in the Wind

Whispers in the Wind is an educational story game set in Puerto Rico that teaches players about radio science through an immersive world and engaging mini-games. 

ABOUT
Set in near-future Puerto Rico, Whispers in the Wind follows siblings Gabby and Raul as they work together to restore their town's communication systems after a hurricane has left the town without cell phone or Wi-Fi service. Along the way, they'll get help from family members and local experts, pilot a clunky drone, operate a fast-paced cognitive radio network, control a holographic guard dog, engage in a virtual dance-off, and get advice from their quirky AI assistant, all while learning how radio facilitates connection and community. Whispers in the Wind is a mixture of classic point-and-click adventure mixed with engaging mini-games and interactives.
