Candle is an adventure with challenging puzzles. Play as Teku, a young novice on a dangerous journey to rescue his tribe's shaman from the evil tribe of the Wakcha. But the way is littered with sinister traps and difficult obstacles.
To master these challenges, you need to have keen eyes and a good sense for your environment, or your next step may be your last. But Teku has a special gift: his left hand is a Candle PC. Let it be a bright beacon to drive off your enemies or to shed light on dark places.
Gorgeous hand-painted watercolor visuals give Candle that special flair, as all backgrounds and characters have been carefully drawn and then scanned, picture after picture. The game consistently feels like a living painting.
What an astonishing debut for Teku Studios! “Candle” is a terrific, gorgeous yet challenging game, that one must be either mentally short or emotionally inadequate in order not to acknowledge its high value and love it.
An exhilarating adventure-platform experience, Candle is an incredible start for Teku Studios. Incredible visuals, majestic world building and thoughtful puzzle design offers one of the best indie games we have seen in recent memory.
Candle is not just a pretty face. It is difficult, uses a powerful visual narrative and is, in a few words, charming. If you are lovers of puzzles and platforms games, Candle is a must have.

Candle is a really sophisticated puzzle-adventure game, with lots of riddles and a stunning art design.
Candle’s got a lot going for it – beautiful visuals, varied puzzles and a decent level of difficulty. On the other hand controls can be annoying and distinct artistic style resembling living paintings sometimes makes it hard to distinguish elements on screen. [01/2017, p.61]
