Wickless is a Russian low effort/amateur made side scrolling adventure/puzzle game (not really a platformer, ignore that misleading marketing). This retro adventure has mild horror/thriller themes as you move through darkened environments and try to stay in the light as you're trapped in your own dark consciousness and need to escape. That's a very pretentious premise for what amounts to 2D pixelcrap shovelware...

Full playthrough: https://youtu.be/PhftM8XkES0 It's a pretty okay game it did give me a jump a couple of times. I feel like there's not much story here though and it's not really a game play game either it's like a hidden object game where everything wants to kill you for no rhyme or reason. I was going to try and 100% it but the game started lagging incredibly bad halfway through so hopefully the devs can fix that...

Surprised this is practically unknown on steam as it's pretty solid. It's get the main aspects of being a horror game that a lot of steam horror games fall short of. It's oppressive, dingy, and really nails the oppressive atmosphere. And the great sound design really adds to it. It does seem to lose it's way right at the end, noodling away through a few pointless scenes and then bam, you die because why not . It...

This game is extremely interesting, I advise you to go through it, especially if you like a dark and mysterious atmosphere. Despite the fact that the game is made in 2D, it conveys the atmosphere of old horror quite well. I have not seen similar games before, so I can say that the game is quite unique (if it is not, sorry). I don’t want to talk about everything interesting, because I don’t want to spoil the plot....

Developer has recently resorted to upping the price of the game to make its discount appear bigger than it actually is.

A suspenseful and eerie experience that plays with darkness and light in creative ways. The gameplay is simple but effective, building tension as you navigate through environments filled with mystery and danger. It’s a great choice for players who enjoy atmospheric horror and love a challenge that keeps them on edge.

Pretty nice and atmospheric pixel horror. It has its own interesting mechanics, as well as a rather interesting save mechanic, for this price it's a pretty good game

Didn't love this. The controls aren't great, and there's very little direction. Also, don't be fooled, it's not a "platformer." You can check out the first 20 minutes or so here: https://youtu.be/leQbF42aPpo

Quite a difficult game to be honest. It's a nice concept though therefore it is worth a try.

Wickless: the void, developed and published by SoSad, is a minimalist 2D atmospheric platformer that blends psychological horror, light puzzle-solving, and stealth-driven exploration into a compact but emotionally charged experience. Released on Steam in 2022 at a modest price point, the game positions itself less as a traditional action title and more as a contemplative descent into a fractured inner world. Its...
