About This Game

It is 1936, and you are a veteran of the Great War, your mind in turmoil from the horrors witnessed daily in the trenches. Seeking solitude and security, you have travelled to the Outer Hebrides of Scotland to take up a job posting on a private island. You are to be the next assistant lighthouse keeper of Pandora's Rock, situated 140 miles off the coast, in the most remote reaches of the United Kingdom.

Over the next several days, you will step into the shoes of Bill, as he endeavours to fulfill his duties on the island under the guidance of the friendly yet enigmatic Captain Ulysses Malin, the senior keeper and owner of Pandora's Rock. As you navigate your responsibilities, your sanity will be sorely tested by the ancient entities that claimed Pandora's Rock as their home aeons before mankind emerged from the primordial woods.

Featuring a richly woven narrative and a cast of intriguing characters, "The Wickie" invites you to explore the eerie and beautiful landscapes of the island. Interact with characters like the mysterious Dougie, the steadfast sailor family, and the unsettling geologist Peter.

Will you uncover the secrets of this esoteric land, or will you succumb to insanity, lost in the dark corners of your mind?
