Candela - web

CANDELA 2D is a tactical local 2-player split-screen shooter set in pitch-black darkness. Every movement and beam of light matters: what you illuminate reveals your position, but what you can't see will kill you.

### 👁️ THE CONCEPT

In CANDELA, visibility is both your deadliest weapon and your greatest vulnerability:

• Pitch-Black Darkness: You and your opponent navigate through complete obscurity. Beyond your feet halo and flashlight cone, the map is hidden.

• Stalked by Light: Turning on your torch allows you to spot the enemy, but instantly gives away your location through the shadows.

• Dazzle Mechanics: Looking directly into the enemy's light beam blinds you, drastically reducing your field of view and movement speed.

• Fatal Shots & Replay: Fast, intense, and tactical duels featuring a dynamic Killcam with slow-motion and zoom on the final hit.
