Wickborn

The Sun went down sixty years ago and never came back up... Something under the Melting Cathedral swallowed it.

The old Chandler has been pouring candles ever since and sending them down to bring it back. None of them have come home, and you're number 212.

Wickborn is a top-down action roguelike where your candle is your health bar. Every hit melts some wax, and your flame powers your special abilities. Fight down through six layers of the Cathedral, pack relics into your satchel where they work best, and see how far you get before you melt. When you're poured again, the candle village above grows a little each time you bring someone home.
