—CANDLES is a top-down, atmospheric horror game where you collect candles scattered throughout a house to perform a sealing ritual on a demon before it gets to you first. Explore the house, find the candles, solve puzzles, and outmaneuver the demon to escape.

The demon goes hunting and will chase you, getting progressively more difficult as the game goes on. Use a combination of sprinting, walking, and resting to escape it.

Uncover helpful hints and character memories through notes and playable flashbacks.

Use your collected candles to perform a ritual and seal the demon away to survive.
CANDLES has a carefully crafted original soundtrack with an emphasis on silence and tension. All sound effects in the game are original and compose a rich and unique sound palette to enhance the experience.
