Candleman: The Complete Journey
Candleman: The Complete Journey is a unique puzzle platformer, where light is both a welcome ally and a deceptive foe. Take the role of a little candle who can burn for only 10 seconds, and venture through an unsettling darkness of challenging levels with a smooth difficulty curve. Use your wits to overcome obstacles based on the mechanics of light and shadow, while exploring a wide range of enchanted environments as you seek out the distant glow. Journey through enchanted worlds, each more mysterious than the last. Face innovative challenges rooted in the mechanics of light and shadow. Become immersed in a stunning fairytale, unlike anything you've seen before.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
