Nicely polished and really delivered on the story experience. Great ending. Sad, but kind of made me chuckle, too. I liked that the theme played a role in the mechanics, even if taken very literally. I liked needing to drop the candle in places to continue forward. Also, the lighting was well used and enhanced the atmosphere.
I would agree with others that the controls felt pretty dated. I also think I encountered a bug where the grate would not respond to interaction.
Overall, fun experience, with some impressive cinematic qualities to it. I look forward to seeing what you make next!
