Candelit depths

Before the first dawn there was a single candle, and its flame did not die.

For centuries the Order of the Wick kept the Undying Flame burning in the Heart of the Depths. Then High Keeper Aldric, afraid it would go out, swallowed it whole. Every candle below went dark at once. What walked out of the Heart wore a crown of snuffed wicks.

They call him the Gloom King now. You carry the last lit candle. Go down.

Candlelit Depths is a pixel-art roguelike platformer. Every floor is generated fresh, every run starts from nothing, and the dark keeps getting deeper.

What waits below

• 30 floors across the Crypt, the Foundry and the Hollow, each big enough to get lost in, with a winding route to the sealed door.
• Guardians on floors 10 and 20. A candle-crowned Warden, a great Eye that watches from its hood, and a Wyrm that swims through stone. Each comes in two variants with their own attacks.
• The Gloom King waits on the last floor.
• Mini-bosses and puzzle rooms hidden off the main path. Beat them to claim powerful artifacts like Moth Wings, Thunderclap and Gecko Grip.
• Travellers camped in quiet rooms. A last keeper, a knight who ran, a mapmaker, a melted candle merchant and a lost little ghost. Each one has a story that changes as you go deeper, and a gift for the one who listens.
• Lore everywhere: tablets, scrolls, plaques and gravestones (some sad, some very silly).
• Lightning at your fingertips. Aim with the mouse and click to strike, but every bolt costs a precious orb. Stomping is free.
• 15 relics to buy between floors, plus shrines, urns, chests (and the chests that bite back).

Rumour has it the Cheats menu answers to the right words.

also i used some assets for the game and i dont know if they are allowed or not so if the owner of the assets found this game i want to say sorry because i could't find them again and see if they are allowed to be used in public games.
