I strongly suggest the Windows version as it has more features and you can save you runs, but you can play either.

(The html is a bit laggy :() 

I was not able to test the Co-Op with other people, but Unity cloud says it works so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Please give it a try, you can have up to 4 players in a game.


The house is never the same twice, and the ghosts are always waiting.

Last Candle is a first-person survival horror game made for the Synty Spooky Jam. Each night you slip into a different haunted mansion with nothing but a candle to hold back the dark. Scavenge what you can, stay alive as long as you dare, and get out before your last flame goes out,

How to play

  • Your candle is your lifeline. When it burns down, light the next one from your backpack, a lit candle stand or the flame you already hold.
  • Ghosts hunt by sound. Glowing symbols on the walls warn you which room a ghost is about to enter. Hide under tables and in wardrobes, or run.
  • Search drawers, cupboards and chests for candles, broken candles, food, water and valuables.
  • Solve séances and crystal ball puzzles to banish ghosts and open secret rooms.
  • Find the hatchet to break out through a boarded window, or follow the trail to the exit.
  • Back in the hideout, craft and upgrade candles, sell your loot, take on jobs and prepare for the next run

Co-op (Windows dl only)

Host a game and share the 5-character join code with up to 3 friends. Each of you has your own hideout, and you go into the same mansion together as sheet ghosts. Voice chat is built in: in the mansion you can only hear players near you, so stick together. Mute anyone from the Party page in the pause menu.

Lucky Last

Your last candle can't be snuffed out by a ghost. Make it count. The longest runs go on the Lucky Last leaderboard.
