Candleman 2017
Developed by Spotlightor Interactive
- Platform, Puzzle, Role-playing (RPG), Adventure
A 3D platformer featuring unique low-light gameplay. Players control the candle and can move, jump and light up. As the candle burns, it reveals safe passage and drips wax but also reduces its height and lifespan. Players must navigate the dark and treacherous landscape and solve puzzles in order to reach the blue light at the end of each level. Despite the fact that it can only burn for 10 seconds, a little candle decides to walk into the darkness, on a journey to seek the light.
