About

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 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.

    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 solid, although brief, Room Escape-like adventure, with a few nightmarish scenes you may never forget.

    Εν κατακλείδι, το παιχνίδι τα καταφέρνει πολύ καλά ως δείγμα του είδους και αποτελεί θα λέγαμε ιδανικό ντεμπούτο για την εταιρία. Θα θέλαμε να είχε πιο ξεκάθαρο lore και να είχε δώσει περισσότερη προσοχή σε ένα δύο συγκεκριμένα puzzles, αλλά οι ώρες που περάσαμε στύβοντας το μυαλό μας σίγουρα άξιζαν τον κόπο.

    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.
