Is a candle safe during hunt?
I know that the ghost will detect electronic devices so I should turn off the flashlight during a hunt so it won't find me as quickly. But would it be safe to use a candle or a glowstick?

Yes. Anything not listed as 'electronic' in the store is safe as can be. Candles, glowsticks, lighters, whatever.

Candles, glowsticks, lanterns, lighters, etc are all fine.

FYI: Even though the Polaroid camera is not labeled as "Electronic", the ghost CAN detect it. Might be an oversight or error in the shop description. My friend was found twice in two games when he held the Polaroid during a hunt. (No, his headcam was not on, and he had no other electronics on him)

That could just be bad luck, though...

so used at your own discretion then cause holding the polaroid camera doesnt get me killed and as you said shouldnt get you killed as it not electronic

Thank you so much for the helpful and friendly answers! :)
Will glowstick or lighter also give a reduced sanity decrease - like the candle does?

glowstick I think is a no on that, lighter might.... but it'd be minimal at best.

candles are fine but the lighter will attract the ghost if you're flicking it

The intended behaviour, I believe, is that it only attracts the ghost upon taking a photo. Just holding it won't make you detected.

Whether that's actually how it works, I'm not sure.
