About
Candle is a 2016 indie adventure game that combines challenging puzzle-solving with atmospheric storytelling. You play as Teku, a young man on a quest to rescue his tribe's shaman from the evil Wakcha-Clan, navigating through environments filled with sinister traps and obstacles that demand careful observation and strategic thinking. The game's unique mechanic involves Teku's special gift in his left hand, which becomes crucial to overcoming the dangers ahead.
From a performance perspective, Candle is highly accessible and runs well on modest hardware. The game requires only an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 272, making it easily playable on older or budget-friendly graphics cards. You can expect solid FPS performance even on low-end systems, and with just 4 GB of RAM minimum, this isn't a demanding title by modern standards. It's an excellent choice if you're looking to benchmark performance on entry-level GPU hardware.
With a rating of 70/100, Candle delivers a solid experience for fans of indie adventure games and puzzle-focused gameplay. If you enjoy atmospheric puzzle adventures with meaningful environmental storytelling, it's worth playing despite being slightly dated in its presentation.
Performance profile
Released in November 2016, Candle sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
Candle is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Extremely light — Candle runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
