EMBER

made this for solo dev jam #11. theme was "everything has a cost".

you wake up in a dungeon holding a candle. that candle IS your life. walking burns it. lighting torches burns it. burning through sealed doors burns it. even sitting in a puzzle menu burns it.

50 procedural floors, 5 bosses (one every 10 floors), 7 minigame puzzles at terminals scattered around. crystal pedestals you have to light to unlock the stairs. shadows that move slower in your light, faster in the dark.
