In the game, the player takes on the character of Sadwick, a sad clown no more than twelve years old. Sadwick faces recurring nightmares of the world ending. The game starts with his surroundings falling apart. The player starts by journeying off to a forest where he meets the King's messenger. He is told to locate an oracle to discover his destiny. Sadwick must overcome several obstacles to restore balance in his dream world. As soon as he is able to do so, he wakes up in reality.

The Whispered World is a mouse-controlled adventure game. The player simply needs to use the mouse to open interactive menus during gameplay. Basic options including a use, talk, and look button for interacting with the environment and various non-player characters. Object indicators as well as those for travel points and characters can also be found on the game interface together with an inventory screen.
