Boosted by the pre-release response, including being awards ‘Game of the Year’ at Indie Games Málaga 2023, Feardemic and developer Under the Bed Games’ folk horror adventure title Tales From Candleforth is out now for PC via Steam, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch.
Tales From Candleforth is a hand-drawn point & click adventure game that revolves around a collection of fairy tales that were written on top of a forbidden book many years ago to hide its content. Years later, the dark text is bleeding out and onto the pages of the tales, mixing with them and twisting the stories.
In this first tale, Sarah is a 16 year old girl who has been left alone to run the family apothecary. Sarah’s grandmother went missing a while ago, but one day, Sarah finds clues that indicate her grandmother might still be alive. As Sarah discovers new powers that only the women in her family can inherit, she adventures into a world of occultism, mystery and horror to uncover the secrets her family is hiding and discover the part she plays in all of it.
As players venture on this trip through madness, unravelling the mysteries hiding behind the surface of Candleforth, they must solve puzzles and interact with a mysterious world to reveal the darkness of this twisted tale.
