Folk Horror Adventure Game ‘Tales From Candleforth’ Releases April 30 on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Feardemic and Under the Bed Games will be scratching that folk horror itch for gamers later this month. They’ve announced that their adventure title Tales From Candleforth will be releasing on April 30 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.
One story in particular centres around Sarah, a 16 year old girl that’s left alone to run the family apothecary. Sarah’s grandmother went missing a while ago, but one day, she finds clues that she 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.
You’ll be guiding Sarah on this trip through madness, unraveling the mysteries hiding behind the surface of Candleforth. That involves solving challenging puzzles and interacting with the mysterious world to reveal the darkness of this twisted tale.
Luckily for Steam owners, if you’re keen on getting a taste of what Tales From Candleforth has to offer, there’s a demo available now.
