Hic ducissa eum dominum facit.

Wick can wear three looks. They change nothing but how he looks: not his reach, not his blood, not the story. All three are open from the first time you play.

How to wear one

  1. Open the options. COUNSEL on the title screen, or SETTINGS in the pause menu.
  2. Find the WICK row, under the HUD row.
  3. Step it left or right, or press A or tap it: CLASSIC, BRIGHT RED, SILVER DARK.
  4. He wears it at once. The status panel’s portrait follows the skin.

What changes and what does not

NOTEThe rules
  • A setting, not a save. The skin is kept with your options, not in your save file: it changes how he looks, never where he is in the story.
  • Every weapon has its twin. The sword, the axe, the scythe, the halberd and every arm of mercy are drawn on the skin you wear, walking, running and striking.
  • The bat changes with him. The change into the bat is drawn on each model.
  • The crows are the crows. The flock is painted live and looks the same whatever he wears.
  • Nothing is locked. There is nothing to earn for these three. Any skin added later and how it is unlocked is still to be decided TBD.
TIPFor streamers

Silver Dark reads darkest on dark ground; Bright Red reads brightest. On a dim stream, or for a thumbnail, Bright Red stands out from the stone and the night best.
