Our take on Wick
The game makes candle supply part of its horror structure instead of treating light as mere atmosphere. Exploration depends on finding more candles, while encounters replace a standard combat focus with enemy-specific evasion.
What is Wick?
Wick is a first-person survival horror game about a local legend involving children who vanished in the woods.
The forest is explored alone by candlelight, with candles serving as a resource that must be found and monitored. Staying in the light keeps fear under control, while darkness brings danger. Several enemy types appear, and each calls for a different way to evade it. The story unfolds through collectibles discovered during exploration. Its structure combines movement through the woods, candle management, fear control, enemy avoidance, and investigation of the legend. Players face the night by maintaining their light, learning enemy behavior, and collecting items that reveal more about what happened.

- Candles must be found and tracked to maintain light and keep fear under control.
