How it feels
A quiet, slow-paced exploration through an eerie darkness, focused on the simple repetitive task of lighting candles in a shifting maze.

What players say
Players explore a large map to light eight candles, then return to the start. The game leans on trial and error with punishing resets that wipe progress, which some find frustrating. At around 90 minutes for one ending, it is very short. Reviews note it is nearly identical to the developer's earlier '八ツ巡り'.
