Merge and Teku Studios, an indie game developer based in Spain, are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of Candle: The Power of the Flame.
Teku is a “Light-Guide” in the service of Yaqa, the Tumaykú tribe’s shaman. However, the honour bestowed upon Teku came at a price – the removal of one of his hands and its replacement with a magical candle that would never run down. The fate of the Tumaykú tribe is now in the balance.
Candle: The Power of the Flame’s visuals are presented as beautiful hand-drawn watercolor images – all the layered backgrounds, characters and objects have been individually painted and scanned into the game. It feels as though you are playing a living painting.
Candle: The Power of the Flame is an action adventure with an emphasis on solving puzzles and surviving a hostile environment. The combination of the remarkable graphics, simple yet testing gameplay and beautiful South American flavored soundtrack all conspire to make Candle: The Power of the Flame and experience you won’t forget.
Candle: The Power of the Flame is set for digital release on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch at the end of July 2018 for $19.99. Boxed retail copies are scheduled to hit store shelves in August.
