Wik & the Fable of Souls

It takes one minute to know why Wik & The Fable of Souls is an award winning game. It takes ten minutes to know you want this game. What you might not know is "Wik" has a large following. There is a game home page and a forum with tips and answers to any questions you might come up with. You can download the wonderful music to play independently of the game to add to your music library. There is even a "unsupported level editor" so you can add to your game. Not only that, there are others who have already played the game and you can download the master pack that allows you to extend your play. But, those are things that you might wait to do.

You do not have to have the demo running to read the manuals or tutorials! Save your time for actual game play. This is the style of game package with community support that continuously keep game play fresh even if new releases don't show up. And the polite designers set the brightness bar at the lowest setting for comfort. Those of you who like blasting lights can increase the brightness even though the scenes are "perfect" at the default settings.

You have to see for your self - no review can do it justice. Get the demo - you can't lose.

What is Wik and the Fable of Souls?

Wik and the Fable of Souls is a very unique PC Game. Wik is an unlikely hero with really cool abilities that help him rise to his challenge.

What are some of the cool things Wik can do?

Wik’s abilities stem from use of his super strong frog-like tongue. Wik can swing his body around by latching his tongue to things.

He can also spit harder and much more accurately than a 3 rd grader with a straw and a wad of paper. It’s real satisfying to take a bug that means you harm and turn him into ammunition against his fellow bugs.

He can also jump very high, and very far.

Why should I buy this game?

We think Wik and the Fable of Souls is unlike any other game out there and presents a great value for your gaming dollar.

The best part is that the game becomes better and better as your skill level increases. That’s not to say it’s not fun right away, because it is. The more you play, the more you will understand Wik’s abilities. As you get better, you’ll notice that the game changes subtly and you’ll find yourself challenged in different ways.

There are numerous things to do in this game, and numerous goals. We think you’ll find yourself wanting to play through it more than once.

Plus, getting Wik to do a full loop is just about the coolest thing ever (if you ask us)! You can do it!!

What are the big HOW things in the middle of the Prologue levels?

They are buttons! Click them and watch a ghost of Wik perform a demonstration of a particular skill. Also pay attention to the mouse that appears during these demo playbacks. That is the position of the mouse to make Wik do what he’s doing.
