Description

Tales from Candleforth is a collection of fairy tales that were written on top of a forbidden book many years ago to hide its content. Years later, the dark text is bleeding out and onto the pages of the tales, mixing with them and twisting the stories.


The tale is about to begin...


In this first tale we'll meet Sarah, a 16 year old girl that's left alone to run the family apothecary. Sarah's grandmother went missing a while ago, but one day, she finds clues that she might still be alive. As Sarah discovers new powers that only the women in her family can inherit, she adventures into a world of occultism, mystery and horror to uncover the secrets her family is hiding and discover the part she plays in all of it.

Go along with Sarah on this trip through madness and unravel the mysteries hiding behind the surface of Candleforth. Solve challenging puzzles and interact with a mysterious world to reveal the darkness of this twisted tale.

Welcome to Dead House (and forrest)

Really atmospheric horror adventure game. Just bear in mind it is more Goosebumps than Stephen King in terms of general vibe. Puzzles are also fun and not frustrating pacing-killers like in so many games in this genre.

Loved it, no notes.

Not only was this game seriously gorgeous and lovingly crafted, the story was good and the puzzles were sufficiently challenging. (I do play a lot of puzzle games like this so I went in kinda knowing what I was in for as far as puzzle mechanics) I really didn't want it to end. 10/10.
