Early 2000’s PC game, nature/fantasy elf type game [Wik & the Fable of Souls]

Please help, I used to play this really particular games after school in the early 2000's. It was a PC game my mum bought god knows why or where, but I used to love it. It was really calming, relaxing music and what I remember to be really visually stunning graphics for the time. I think it started with a W-, which would be the name of the titular character. An elf-like being, which I remember would swing as you moved him through the levels.
The overall aesthetic of the game was kind of fern gully meets gollum. The main character was cute yet 'ugly' or gnome-like. I can't remember so many of the details!
Please help if you have any idea!

For some odd reason your description made me think of Jasper's Journeys (although not starting with a W).

You can also look at the list of games about elves here:

I have to note though, your description is very sparse. You haven't mentioned if your game was 2D or 3D, what genre was it, what was the objective and so on. Please refer to the posting rules for a list of possibly relevant details. Knowing these is helpful because they can be fed into MobyGames' Game Browser to produce a list of candidates based on specific criteria.

Thanks for the reply. I know it's difficult to describe though, English isn't my first language sorry. It was 3D and I remember the graphics were very good. Very earthy and natural scenery, and the main character was a whisp of a thing. You had to swing him through the beautiful wood underbrush scenery

Thanks for the help though

It's a bit different to how I remembered. It looks so old school, but I remember it being such good graphics hahahha
