The Candleborne demo is available now on Steam for PC and Mac!
Your climb begins in the Crypt.
Candleborne is a top-down action roguelite about climbing a tower consumed by darkness. Your flame attacks automatically, leaving you free to focus on movement, positioning, collecting Soul Shards, and choosing how your build develops.
Grow Your Flame
Defeat enemies and collect Soul Shards to gain experience and grow stronger. Choose upgrades that increase your power, improve your survivability, and shape your build.
Power Has a Price
Some upgrades make you stronger while also making the enemies more dangerous. Decide how much risk you’re willing to accept in exchange for greater power.
Change Your Fate
Your upgrade choices won’t always go your way. Spend your limited dice to reroll them—or save your dice for when you desperately need another option.
Stay in the Light
Your candle is both your weapon and your protection. Stray beyond the reach of your candlelight and the darkness begins consuming your flame.
Face the Guardian
Survive the Crypt, strengthen your flame, and defeat the floor’s guardian.
The demo is only the beginning of the climb. The full version of Candleborne will continue the ascent with additional floors, enemies, guardians, upgrades, and challenges.
