When trying to set your title apart in a crowded Switch eShop having a unique visual hook is a good starting point. That’s something Candleman very much delivers on, set in dark halls which your character is able to illuminate, but only for short bursts since doing so will slowly make you melt. While this mechanic, exploring somewhat in the dark and trying to find your way to light other candles along the way, can make for a challenge and even some suspense, it also is a convenient way to cover for what are often pretty generic level layouts. On the plus side Candleman has a great visual hook, is approachable, and can be fun, just be sure to keep your overall expectations in check since it’s just very average beyond that.
