Features
One of the core game mechanics in Whispers Of The Shadow is finding and using candles. Candles are a critical resource that not only illuminates shadows but also acts as a shield against the enemy. In order to illuminate your surroundings and protect yourself against the enemy, you must move forward without getting lost in the darkness by strategically placing and lighting candles.
You have a hand-powered flashlight instead of a classic flashlight. Due to the sound it makes when charging your flashlight, if the enemy is nearby, it will cause the enemy to hear you and come after you. That's why you need to preserve the energy of the flashlight's battery and use and charge it carefully.
