Information:

 Whispered secrets is a "Choose your own Adventure" style game. The graphics
are in retro-amiga-style, hand drawn by GabbiAngel. All of the music is 
composed by Ian Michael. 
 If you have ever sat down with a choose your way book, you will love 
Whispered Secrets! Various endings and scenes make it playable over and over.

How to Play:

 Game style and concept were made to suit a console, so choices are made with
the joypad. I have included a how to play screen, as well as an inventory. I
call this a Multiple Choice Story Adventure (MCSA). 

Controls:

-Left on the D-pad will take you to the Inventory screen
-Right on the D-pad will take you to the Controls screen
-To choose your path, use the up and down on the D-pad and
-A to go on (unless otherwise stated)
-B to select "no music"
-Y to turn music back on
