What to say about this game...
Honestly, I am 100% confident saying, this game in my eyes, is a masterpiece, and my personal game of the year!
The story is gripping, rewarding the player for looking in every nook and cranny for more hints about the big picture. The art style, soundtrack, and atmosphere transport you into the world. As for the the premise, it is sweet and simple and executed perfectly.
In Gallows Creek, the story of the "Whistling Man" is told to the player, about a serial killer who murdered people whilst stalking them with a creepy whistle. The player is left in charge of the 911 dispatch line during the night, after the towns dispatcher discovers the body of the sheriff. Working at a radio station, you are tasked with the safety of the townsfolk.
During the night, you take calls to either save the people of Gallows Creek, or let them fall to their demise at the hands of the Whistling Man. The rewarding feeling of saving everyone hits hard as you unravel the reasoning behind the killer, and the depressing feeling of letting everyone die is enough to make you want to replay the game to save everyone again.
Explore the studio to find Clues about how to help everyone, or use those clues to send them to their unfortunate death. The choice is yours.
