Hope : The Flickering Light

About the Game

Hope: The Flickering Light is a thought-provoking puzzle game that challenges your logic, precision, and timing as you guide Luna, a determined girl from a village shrouded in darkness, in her search for the Eternal Flame — the only chance to break her homeland’s curse.

Armed with only a candle and the echoes of her past failed attempts, Luna must navigate a shifting underground world filled with traps, layered puzzles, and dangerous patterns. Each flicker of light is more than a tool — it’s a symbol of determination, persistence, and the belief that even in the darkest places, something bright remains.
