The WhatsNext verdict

For Players who enjoy atmospheric platforming, light puzzles, and careful resource use: You guide a small candle through dark environments, using its limited light to reveal paths and solve puzzles on the way to each level’s blue light. Tradeoff: Lighting your way also shortens the candle’s lifespan, so exploration and illumination require restraint.
