Our take on Waffle Cone Willie
The unusual ice cream-truck premise receives much of the presentation, while the described play loop consists of familiar survival-horror actions: moving between locations, hiding from a pursuer, solving environmental puzzles, and collecting clues.
What is Waffle Cone Willie?
Waffle Cone Willie is a first-person survival horror game set in Sweetwater, a suburban neighborhood haunted by a possessed ice cream truck.
Players move between houses and other locations, search for clues, solve environmental puzzles, and open new areas while avoiding Willie. Crouching, hiding in buildings or shadows, and staying outside the truck’s view are central to survival. The truck’s distorted jingle signals its approach and becomes more menacing as it nears. Willie’s adaptive AI responds to player tactics during exploration. The objective is to gather what is needed to confront the ghost of the former ice cream vendor and escape while uncovering paranormal activity and the town’s mystery.
