In A Wicked Game, the rules are unclear or incomplete. There may or may not be feedback. Patterns will be hard to find. A Wicked Game demands the player know things which are never taught, demands that they contort themselves to a constantly-changing control scheme, and success requires mastery combined with luck. The characters you meet are deliberately inhospitable. They are impatient, rude, and inconsistent. They will help you and harm you, but it will be unclear which is happening. Trust is hard to find here.

Good luck.
