The Wickie: Journey of a Lighthouse Keeper PC

Step into 1936. The lights are going out. The sea is rising.

In The Wickie, you play as Bill Fisher, a replacement assistant on a remote island station in the Outer Hebrides. What begins as a lonely assignment becomes a descent into mystery, control, and a slow cosmic unraveling. The game is not a run-and-gun horror title. It’s a meditative, dread-laced mystery, with systems that reward perception over reflex.

🕯 Features

Five handcrafted days of story progression—explore, piece together the mystery, and survive. No maps. No handholding. Use clues, logic, and your own notes to navigate. Real-time exploration across an interconnected world: tunnels, walkways, derelict facilities, sea routes, and sealed rooms. A haunting atmosphere that blends Lovecraft, Machen, and weird British horror. Physical documents, posters, tapes, and diagrams—no quest pop-ups or dialogue trees. Three distinct endings based on your choices, failures, and the truths you uncover. Fully integrated 1930s radio station featuring curated music, news, and strange broadcasts.
