The five ghosts are Tim, Tom, Lillian, Caleb, and Benjamin Weaver, each with a unique behaviour and a unique strategy to avoid. There are drawings that spawn near the start area which explain how to deal with each child. There are three collectibles in each 'hour' which relate to the backstory of the family before the fire. The game style is a cross between ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}'' and ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys''.

''[[http://wick.hellbentgames.com/ Wick]]'' is a first person survival horror with supernatural elements designed by ''[[http://hellbentgames.com/ Hellbent Games]]''. The protagonist is dropped into the middle of a forest at midnight and must survive the night. Five ghosts attack the character throughout, each with unique behaviour. The character's the only defense is to flee. The game is divided by the in-game hours which vary in length, and in which ghosts are active. The character has to continually replace their candles to stay in the light.

Local legends say that the Weaver family lived in the woods, but their house burned down. The bodies of the five children were never found. The townspeople took to leaving things (candles) in the woods in case the children were still alive. These candles would move in the night. People who came up to the woods to stay the night mysteriously disappeared. Thus, the game of wick was born with three rules: 1) Blindfold player & lock in forest; 2) Player gets candles & matches; 3) Survive until 6 am.

The five ghosts are Tim, Tom, Lillian, Caleb, and Benjamin Weaver, each with a unique behaviour and a unique strategy to avoid. There are drawings that spawn near the start area which explain how to deal with each child.

!! This game provides examples of:
* ApocalypticLog: The fate of the protagonist is revealed through interviews with police unlocked by beating each 'hour.' The ghosts' backstory is revealed through collectibles scattered across the map.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Lillian.
* BodyHorror: Tom's body bends at weird angles and he twitches. It's gross.
* BrutalBonusLevel: If you collect all the children's collectibles for midnight to 4 am, then the game unlocks 5 am. All the children are active in this hour and they are incredibly aggressive. The only redeeming feature of the level is that it only lasts around four minutes.
* CreepyCemetery: There are five graves in the woods [[spoiler: later six.]]
* CreepyChild: All five of them.
* CreepyTwins: Tim and Tom. They wear the comedy and tragedy 'drama masks.' If one kills the player, the other sometimes can be seen in the death scene.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It doesn't seem like the five ghosts had a particularily good life before they died, specifically Tom.
* DarknessEqualsDeath: Not quite death, but the children become more aggressive if you aren't in candle light.
* [[spoiler: DeadAllAlong: The protagonist in the secret ending.]]
* DeadWeight: Benjamin is as wide as he is tall.
* DontLookAtMe: This seems to be Tom's motivation for wearing his mask, while Tim wears one to make Tom feel better. If you look at Tom for too long, he will kill you.
* [[spoiler: DownerEnding: You're dead.]]
* EvilCripple: Tom, due to contracting polio at a young age and also possibly being thrown in a well.
* EvilDuo: Tim and Tom.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: You don't speak in the opening narration. The only part we see of the player character is their forearms.
* ForDoomTheBellTolls: A bell tolls twice in each 'hour,' once around halfwaythrough the 'hour' and once at the end.
* GhostStory: A local ghost story is what the game of wick is based on.
* GottaCatchThemAll: There are pages and three collectibles scattered throughout the map in each 'hour' except [[spoiler: 5 am.]]
* GuideDangIt: Thankfully averted. The pages are on trees right at the beginning of the 'hour.' The collectibles are scattered around the map, but they are all on places of interest on the map rather than scattered in totally random places.
* HarmfulToMinors: Five ghost children and the protagonist is at most a teenager.
* HellIsThatNoise:
** When Caleb spawns on the map, he slowly digs towards the player for the rest of the time. The digging sound is louder when he is near, but is audible everywhere.
** When Benjamin spawns he sleeps somewhere on the map. His snoring can be heard basically everywhere.
* HeroicMime: You never speak. You don't scream.
* HoldTheLine: The goal is to survive, not to beat the children or collect anything.
* ImAHumanitarian: In one of the death scenes, it looks like Caleb starts to eat you.
* InfantImmortality: Averted. Hard.
* JumpScare: This game lives off them. Special mention goes to Tim, Tom, and Lillian who will flash in front of you for a second with a scare chord.
* NeverFoundTheBody: The fate of the five children after their house burned down. [[spoiler: Also the protagonist in the secret ending.]]
* NightmareFuelColoringBook: The pages you find attached to the trees look like they're coloured by kids.
* NothingIsScarier: When you aren't running from one of the kids, you are waiting to be attacked.
* OlderThanTheyLook: The Weaver children died in the mid-20's while the game takes place in the present day so they're all around 100.
* OminousFog: Limits your view.
* OneHitKill: All five of the children will kill you in one shot.
* RandomEvent: The ghosts spawn mostly at random. This sometimes leads to multiple ghosts spawning at once.
* ResourcesManagementGameplay: You start each hour in front of a lit candle with five matches. You need to scavenger for other candles and conserve your matches.
* RoarBeforeBeating: If you wake Benjamin up, he gets up and roars before charging you.
* ScareChord: Used when Tim, Tom, or Lillian randomly appear infront of you.
* SchmuckBait: Playing the 'ingame' version of Wick.
* ScrapbookStory: The plot is largely told through police interviews.
* [[spoiler: ShootTheShaggyDog: You survived all six hours to be dead the whole time.]]
* SiblingsInCrime: The Weaver Children.
* StoryBreadcrumbs: What happened to the Weaver children is hinted at through the collectibles found throughout the game.
* SuperPersistentPredator: The Weaver children, but special mention goes to Caleb.
* SurvivalHorror: You must survive until 6 am.
* TeensAreMonsters: Your friends who leave you in the forest. [[spoiler: Worse in the secret ending where they seem to be doing the same thing to someone else.]]
* TenSecondFlashlight: The candles don't last and must constantly be replaced.
* UndeadChild: Weaver children.
* UrbanLegends: In-universe, what happened to the Weaver children.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Tim and Tom wear the 'drama masks.'
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Your friends ditch you in the forest to be attacked by ghosts.
* {{Wormsign}}: Caleb leaves this.
