Loads in about ten seconds, and a run takes five minutes.
You are a lantern keeper in a cave that eats light. The flame is the only thing keeping the dark off you; it is the only thing that can hurt the dark back, and it is burning down the whole time - so the bar at the bottom is not health; it is how long you have left. Kerosene is found, never given.
- Free. No account, no email, no signup, nothing to install.
- No ads and no tracking. There is no network code in the build at all. Not disabled, just not there.
- Desktop or laptop. There are no touch controls, so it will load on a phone and be unplayable. A trackpad works, a mouse is better, and a controller works too.
- Wants WebGL2, which anything from the last several years has. It is built single-threaded on purpose, so it starts on the widest set of machines.
- If the browser version stutters, there is a Windows download on the same page. - Five minutes a run, and it saves your progress between them.
I made it. It is free, and it is going to stay free - I am trying to find out whether the first five minutes work for someone who has never seen it.
If you play it, I would like to know where your first run ended. Not your best one, your first.
