Flicker Of Hope is a free 30+ minute game where you play as a candle that needs to make it to its destination while avoiding a monster? As well as burning out. its a fun little experience that has great atmosphere and is worth the time! It reminded me a lot of little nightmares. It plays perfectly on steam deck <3

This game is great for what it is. The fact that this was made by 18 people really shows how much passion went into this project. I love the concept and gameplay even though there are some bugs which are a bit annoying. The experience is short but still fun!
