Tales from Candleforth is a folk horror 2D point and click adventure with puzzles and escape room mechanics. Using dark and evocative aesthetic it creates a nostalgic atmosphere where beautiful music compositions meet with 2D traditional and digital art and frame by frame hand drawn animations.
Tales from Candleforth uses escape room-like mechanics to help its protagonist not only find her missing grandmother and uncover the secrets she left behind, but also to realize her own powers. With creepy imagery, this 2D, hand-drawn game is sure to catch and hold the attention of point-and-click puzzle/adventure gamers.
Tales from Candleforth is a slightly morbid and short point-and-click, good enough for me to wish that the plural of the title would come true and take the form of a collection of small stories that combine their strengths into a larger work. For now, Sarah's tale pleases, the puzzles mess with our logical associations and the art skillfully combines...
I think Under the Bed Games can only go up from here - the fact that Tales from Candleforth is their first game is quite impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who's into escape room games. 📖
Tales from Candleforth is a 2D puzzle game with excellent visuals that tells a horror story set in classic folklore and will keep you glued to the console for almost 4 hours.
A surprisingly good mix of creepiness and smart puzzles, but doesn’t completely stick the landing
