The game doesn’t run on my 32-bit PC?

The game is supposed to also support older hardware specs. It might help to close every other program running on your PC.

I have a Windows 10 32-bit PC and the game doesn’t run?

Unfortunately, Windows 10 32-bit PCs are not supported.

I got stuck in the game / There is a puzzle which is too difficult for me.

It is recommended to take a close look at all the environments to look for hints. It’s the same with the narrated texts which contain lots of hints to the puzzles. In addition, Candle is not a linear game. If you cannot proceed at one place maybe you can go back to another scene to make some progress there.

The controls feel a little bit clumsy.

We recommend a controller to play the game.
Besides of that you might want to try to switch between modern and retro controls in settings in the main menu.

Where is the mouse cursor?

The game doesn’t support the mouse. Everything can be done by keyboard or a controller.

My progress is lost / the game did not save?

All the autosaves are just temporarily to provide best game experience. You should save manually at the savespots often and regularly. Especially before closing the game.

I'm a Streamer/Let's Player and want to show the game on my channel.

First of all, congrats on releasing the game! I'm enjoying it a lot so far, and I haven't experienced any issues on Linux.

A couple of things bother me a little though, and I don't know if there's something I might have missed.

1) How do I skip dialogue? If I accidentally trigger the same dialogue twice, it's a bit annoying to have to watch it all again.

2) How do I cancel a dialogue sequence instead of selecting between dialogue options, like with the woman who was tied up early in the game?

These are kind of the same issue, but there might be cases when you don't want to cancel a conversation, but just skip through it, in case there's some hint in it that you missed.

There's no way to skip individual "lines" of dialogue, but you can usually skip the entire dialogue of a specific conversation option with "D" on the keyboard (so the same button that's used for the candle stuff). You can also cancel the entire conversation with the same key if you don't want to select an option.

^ Thanks. :) That should work nicely for me.

My god, please go away and never make another game.
