We played this at the “less scary” level, which made it delightfully creepy and eerie but not scary-scary (we talked to the GM afterwards and it seems like we could have survived the more scary version; there’s no insane clowns coming at you with chainsaws). The puzzling and the flow were one of the cleanest we’ve seen - most of the puzzles made thematical sense in the game world and we were never at a loss what to do next. There were a few surprises that were just delightful. The one exception to my general love for Something Wicked was a very process-y mechanical puzzle that was very hard for our team of two to complete; the psychologically savvy GM was able to read the frustration mounting in the room and help us out so we could move on and not have the whole game ruined (with a team of four or more, this particular puzzle may not be an issue at all). Highly recommended!
