Acerca de este juego

Enter a world of unsettling beauty and dark secrets in The Wickie, a first-person thriller set in the 1930s Outer Hebrides. Step into the shoes of Bill Fisher, a lighthouse keeper’s assistant seeking solace, only to uncover mysteries lurking in the shadows of these remote islands. Solitude turns to suspense—what will you find? Or what will find you?

Explore
Discover the haunting beauty of the Outer Hebrides, the most distant and isolated of the Scottish isles. Navigate secret paths, ancient ruins, and places reclaimed by those with sinister agendas. With no glowing markers or handholding, it’s up to you to uncover the truth.

Danger
Danger lurks everywhere—falling, drowning, freezing, or being crushed are just the beginning. The world of The Wickie is unforgiving, and you are but human. Survival demands vigilance, wit, and courage.

Insanity
The mysteries you uncover will challenge your perceptions of reality. Is what you’re seeing real, or is your mind fracturing under the weight of cosmic horror? In The Wickie, sanity itself becomes a fragile thread.

Open World
If you wonder what lies beyond the crest of a hill, go and see for yourself. The Wickie offers a handcrafted, fully explorable world—no procedurally generated shortcuts, just carefully placed mysteries to uncover. Begin on Gondola Island, where multiple paths can lead to your goals. Scratch that itch of curiosity and investigate!

Unique NPCs
Meet characters unlike any you’ve seen before. Brought to life through stunning hand-drawn art, these NPCs challenge you to interpret their emotions, motives, and cryptic words. Are their strange behaviors a reflection of your perception—or something more sinister?

Clues Everywhere!
Immerse yourself in an investigation filled with details. Clues are scattered across the world—read them, collect them, and piece them together. The best tools are a sharp mind, a notepad, and a pencil. Yes, a real one. Writing is good for you!

Interactive Map?
There isn’t one. In 1936, there were no GPS devices or glowing markers. Instead, you’ll sketch your own maps and rely on your ingenuity. Quests provide hints but never lead you by the nose. Every discovery is yours to make.

A Five-Day Questline
Embark on a journey across five distinct days, each forming a unique level with overarching mysteries. On average, the questline takes 14–20 hours for first-time players. Designed to be a coffee-and-contemplation experience, The Wickie offers intrigue and danger without requiring lightning-fast reflexes.

Multiple Endings
The Wickie features three distinct endings, with more to come in future updates. Your choices—and failures—shape the outcome, so tread carefully.

Expanding World
Over the next 36 months, additional storylines, quests, and locations will expand The Wickie’s universe. This is the passion project of a dedicated developer, ensuring a steady stream of new adventures and features.

Unwind With Music
Enjoy an authentic 1930s radio station complete with music, news, plays, and concerts. Take a break, sip your coffee, and let the haunting tunes set the mood for your next dive into cosmic horror.

Cosmic Horror
Fully inspired by Lovecraft, Poe, Machen, Hodgson, and Clark, The Wickie is steeped in the unsettling mysteries of cosmic horror. You’ll encounter books, references, and places that fans of the genre will recognize. Dare you dive deeper? Will you discover who’s behind that hood—or if it even matters? Is the world changing around you, or are you?

A Living World
The Wickie’s story is grounded in the events of 1936, blending real-world history with its eerie narrative. Explore a timeline where historical figures, places, and events impact the islands and the lives of their inhabitants. From Berlin’s Golden Age to American industrialism, every detail adds depth to the world.
