Parameters
IF Whispers is an experimental (and not entirely serious) method of writing collaborative IF, similar to Speed-IF. Each participant codes a section of a game in sequence, only seeing the section of code immediately before their own. If managed correctly, this results in a game that is playable, but makes little sense in terms of plot.
The idea was the brainchild of Carl Muckenhoupt, and inspired by cadavre exquis and Comic Whispers. The project generally operates without a time limit.
