ABOUT THE GAME
Candlelight Lament is an adventure puzzle game set in the Cthulhu Mythos where you take on the role of a renowned elderly professor called Ed, who ignores the city’s night-time curfews to visit friends all the while searching for his missing granddaughter. As you explore through the game and the investigation progresses, a huge mystery behind recent large-scale disappearances becomes increasingly clear and its true nature turns out to be more terrifying than you had ever imagined.
