There's been more talk recently that games should never serve as a gateway to great story-telling. We, and many others, think that idea is completely ridiculous and rightfully call upon more games to prove that ideology wrong. Empathy: Path of Whispers is one that's out to set the record straight.
Emerging with a shiny 4K trailer to throw onto your new ultra high-definition TV or pricey HDR-equipped monitor, we're to gaze into the past.
There's a world that looks nothing like its former self. No matter how it appears on the outside, if those who carved it are no longer with us, it's just a shell of what they left behind. Exploring the abandoned world of Empathy means traversing the minds and memories of those who no longer walk its path. The memories and emotions of its former denizens are key to piecing together how an apocalyptic event shattered this once flourishing land. It's a power that's key to bringing it back to its former glory.

Focusing on storytelling and exploration, there's a strong narrative at work here that hopes to paint a picture of a crumbled society. Empathy: Path of Whispers is yet another title to be pushed into the limelight by Iceberg Interactive. Acting as the publisher for Swedish developer Pixel Night's debut game, it's one that'll join the ranks of Killing Floor 2, Starpoint Gemini 2 and the original Endless Space.
If the trailer down below peaks your interest, you should be happy to know that Empathy: Path of Whispers arrives on Steam come May 16.
