Indie puzzle adventure game Candle now has a final release date: November 11. From publisher Daedalic Entertainment and Spanish developer Teku Studios, Candle will be available on PC via Steam and GOG with boxed editions in German-speaking markets, Spain and Italy. Check out the trailer for hand-painted watercolor adventure Candle below:
According to a press release, “Players take on the role of Teku, a young man bound to rescue his tribe’s shaman from the vile Wakcha Clan. But the way is spiked with traps and many trials. To master the way ahead, Teku has to pay close attention to his surroundings and make good use of his deductive skills – or his journey will come to an early end.
“But Teku has a special gift: His left hand is a candle. He can use it as a torch to fend off enemies or as a bright beacon to light dark places.”
All elements of Candle’s visuals, including characters, backgrounds and objects, “have been individually painted and scanned for the game” to provide a “living painting” type of effect.
