The Candle
After waking in a pitch-black room, you’re lucky to stumble across a single, lit candle … that talks? Using innovative eye-tracking technology, The Candle challenges you to discover the evil secrets of the house and escape. And your new friend, the talking candle, is helpful … isn’t it …?
The Candle is a first-person horror game that integrates with Tobii eye-tracking technology to provide eye gaze interaction. As a player, you will play a role that was trapped in a dark old house. The candle is a “magic lamp” like a character who is picked by you and will guide you to escape from the house.
