✨ What makes it fun

💡 Tips

Light range is your lifeline — don't stray too far from lit braziers.
Attack from the edge of your light radius — enemies take longer to reach you.
Some paths only appear after lighting specific braziers — explore before assuming a dead end.
Groups of shadows are weaker if you catch them in the light — lure them into your glow.
