UNIQUE TOOLS & MECHANICS
Light is your only tool. Four candle types, learned naturally step-by-step:
Wick Candles
Soft radial glow that illuminates its own tile and all 8 neighboring tiles. The foundation of cozy village lighting.
Beam Candles
Focused straight rays of light cast across cobblestones. Tap to rotate in 4 cardinal directions and bridge distant lanterns.
Prisms
Reflect and bend incoming light beams 90 degrees around corners. Tap to flip orientation and route rays through tight village alleys.
Lotus Candles
Floating lights designed specifically for sunken water ponds, allowing illumination to drift across canals and garden pools.
