Some facts about the company behind Silent Whispers because I know a lot of us have been hearing rumours. And I wanted to lay out the facts we do know. No rumours will be spread on this post; you are entitled to make your own opinion of this however do not mistaken it for facts. All we can do is wait and see what will be confirmed in the future.
- The team behind Silent Whispers is called Archosaur Games. And behind Archosaur Games is the company Tencent.
- Tencent is their primary publisher and has heavily invested in their games such as Life Makeover and Silent Whispers.
- Tencent is known for its controversial tactics in business, which includes monopolistic practices, plagiarism, and more importantly in this case: corporate deformation.
- Corporate deformation defines as a practice in which a rival company proceeds to tarnish another’s reputation. It is also referred to as corporate sabotage and this includes spreading malicious or misleading information to customers, media, and investors.
- In 2024, Papergames had won a large amount of around $23,000 after filing a lawsuit against Archosaur games due to unfair competition and trademark infringement. This lawsuit applied to Papergame’s Nikki series (Shining Nikki, Infinity Nikki, Miracle Nikki) and Archosaur’s Life Makeover.
- As a result from this lawsuit, Archosaur was demanded to pay $23,000 for both the previous reasons.
- Moving on to more recent facts: it has been proven that Valko is a character who has been developed and worked on since 2023. Valko was a character that was planned from the beginning.
- Sylus was also a character who was worked on from 2023 before making his debut in 2024.
- The characters Alarik, Theron, and Valen are characters from the game Silent Whispers. They are yet to be released in 2027, with pre-registrations opening in 2026. However, we have no information on when Silent Whispers had first began to work on their development and characters.
- In regards to appearances (I am pointing out appearances for a reason regarding to the comparison between both games):
-> Theron: Theron is most well known for being a werewolf who embodies an ‘untamed’ personality. He is portrayed with dark tan skin, black hair, and green-yellow eyes (I am not calling them hazel because it’s always changing). Archosaur Games commonly presents Theron in official art with green eyes, however in their most recent post they have decided to shift to yellow eyes. Some say this is to portray his ‘untamed werewolf’ side, however there is no tail or ears to support this. He has also been shown with slightly lighter skin, however this may be due to lighting in artwork and cannot be said for sure what they were trying to aim for.
-> Alarik: Alarik is commonly known for his striking white hair and blue eyes. He has fire powers and embodies a mysterious but extroverted persona. His smirk is one that has struck many potential players.
-> Valen: A very cute and sweet-looking love interest with pink hair and blue eyes. His fluffy hair has had many remembering him from not only his ice powers, but his candy coloured colour palette.
- Additional point: I’m not sure if this will be very effective, but in the recent police report in China regarding to Love and Deepspace’s situation did mention taking action towards rival companies purchasing bots, paying off media, and spreading malicious misinformation to gain an advantage.
Gather any information you want, it all speaks for itself but I won’t say it out loud, because like I said before, we need confirmation. Make all the interpretations you want, but for your own benefit, do not say anything straight-up because we don’t know anything as of right now. All we know is that a lot of CN players are delivering information about Silent Whispers and their involvement in all this.
I will not be hating on the game, however I will not be playing it either. And I will not be making any more posts on them unless something is confirmed or urgent.
Let me be clear, everyone is entitled to their own opinion in this matter. You can’t force anyone to play the game or not, and you can’t force theories onto them. I would like to hear everyone’s perspective on this, because I think it’s quite interesting. What I’ve been noticing is also the increasing amount of Silent Whispers advertisement recently, but who knows?
I genuinely did want to play this game, and Theron did look very attractive to me. However, I will be staying away from this game, because I will not give them what they want by making them a backup if Papergames fail. As much as I agree and know that Infold has a lot to work on, and they do let us down, I do support all the developers and anyone involved with the creative process of Love and Deepspace.
But like I said before. You are entitled to your own opinion and no one is stopping you from liking and playing this game. We can have our theories and interpretations, but that doesn’t give us an excuse to hate on them because we will be portraying ourselves as just as bad as the haters of Love and Deepspace.
