Nyctophobia by oodavy
Victoria has Nyctophobia, she is very afraid of the dark.
Unfortunately, it's her first night home alone, which means it is your responsibility to keep all of the candles in the house alight. But they will go out over time and you will need to relight them. If you keep Victoria in the dark for too long, her phobia will get the best of her and she will faint.
You need to collect matches to light her candle.
You need to use her lit candle, to light the other candles around the house.

The thumbnail art looks pretty nice but the download page downloads a .rar file, which I cannot open. Sorry ):.

Pretty moody, and really nice lighting. It just feels weird you can't light your candle from other candles already lit. (Or if you can, I couldn't figure out how)

Love the art, very moody. Wish I could light my candle from already lit candles.

I liked the mood you created and the game il really polished too. It's just a little bit frustrating how the candle lights off so quickly... This is an underrated game :)

Very good mood thanks to the sound design and the nice pixel art. It's too bad that we progress blind most of the time in a new room until we found a candle to light up. And may be light up her candle could slow the decrease of the phobia. Anyway it's a solid entry, well done.

Cool concept and very atmospheric. The manual lighting of each match is surprisingly tense which reminds me of the manual opening of doors in Amnesia. I like that you telegraphed the darkness bar nearly zero with a gasp of fear. Great job!

The lighting of the matches was really nice, but I really got confused by how the game worked and she seemed to panic even with the candle lit.

Great atmosphere and I like the consistency of the pixel art style. Freaking hard tho! XD

I love the game mechanics and the idea how to light up the matches, but I don't get where I am allowed to be or not to be
