Candle

You play as Teku, a young novice whose tribe’s shaman has been captured by the rival Wakcha tribe. He sets out to rescue the shaman, travelling through a world presented in hand-painted watercolor scenes.

Explore each area, jump across obstacles, avoid traps, and interact with the environment to solve puzzles. Progress often depends on noticing details in the scenery and working out how objects and mechanisms fit together.

Teku’s candle hand can light dark places and drive off enemies, making the flame both a tool and part of how you face danger. The journey combines platforming with environmental puzzles and a narrated story.

Players often praise the distinctive hand-painted art, atmospheric music, and puzzles that reward careful observation and can be satisfyingly challenging. Some also enjoy the story and narration. Criticism commonly focuses on stiff or awkward controls, frustrating platforming, and clues or puzzle solutions that can be difficult to spot.
