About the Game

Disclaimer: This game is a simple walking simulator with only one interaction. I aimed to create a meditative experience inspired by Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain, but it didn’t turn out as planned. Reviews are negative, with players feeling it's a bit of a time waster, instead of taking it down from Steam, I’ve left it up. This was my first game, made in just three days, and it’s far from optimized. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend playing it.

Playtime: 2 minutes

You light the 11 candles. There is no sound, no one around. In the vast open world, a single monolith stands, marking your time in hell. The sole purpose is to keep the flame alive.

The game offers very simple gameplay. Players light 11 candles one by one and aim to light them all.

When all candles are lit, the ending appears and the game is complete.
