The Mexico-based indie development team Dracma Studios has brought action-adventure game fans an opportunity with some news for their upcoming game Candle Knight. Alongside their announcement of the 2.5D action-adventure games release date, they have dropped a free-to-play demo on the game’s Steam page.

Get ready to wield your flame to overcome menacing creatures lurking in the shadows of a ruined castle, use the dynamic difficulty system to your advantage, traverse challenging platforming sections and solve cryptic puzzles inside surreal paintings.

This news follows Candle Knight’s recent win that put the game in a qualifier spot at the prestigious Nordic Game Discovery Contest (NGDC) as the competition moves to its sixth season, which will take place in November.

Candle Knight is set to release on January 20, 2023, for PC via Steam. If challenging action and platformer gameplay is something you like, then be sure not to miss out on the free demo while it is available!
