A tense, real-time race against a flickering candle as you explore a decrepit manor, manage resources, and avoid monsters before the light dies permanently.

What players say
Players are torn: some call it a brilliant joke tied to streamer Jerma985, while others bought it as a real horror game and felt misled. The developer originally said there would be no updates, then broke that promise, which angered some fans of the original version.
