I can see the start of a physic puzzle game here. Controls a little annoying to fight against since the default is to throw the box and not to simply place it, so they would either clip through the ground, or bounce off the button. I actually found it easier to use the candle stick since it has a low mass to drag ratio, so it would just drop onto place. (you can also skip having to go up the stair case in the second room)
Not quite too sure what the intended solution was for the third room, I just ended up slinking along the ledge on the wall as a way to bypass the chasm.
