Write your own mystery for Whispers in the West

Testing Your Case

Can't wait to play the case you wrote? Whispers in the West lets you preview your mystery instantly. There are two ways to playtest or share a custom case:

Test Custom Case in-game

Use this method to quickly preview your case and test how it flows. You can test it solo or invite friends to join, just like a regular multiplayer session.

Before you can test the custom case, you will need to export the case. 

Upload to Steam Workshop

Once you’re happy with the results, you can share your mystery with the broader community.


Tip: Always test your case using the Test Custom Case feature before uploading to the Workshop. It ensures a smoother experience for others and helps you spot small issues early.
