jerma this game f*cking sucks
You get hit immediately with a message from the developer at the start of the game saying something like "I don't want your feedback, I don't care. There won't be a patch." And it shows. I have to think the positive reviews are paid or memes from youtubers playing it. the biggest positive was the little kids that look like child versions of the mask seller from Majora's Mask calling you a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Also the frog game, love that game. Edit: Okay, I saw the comments. I get it. I don't watch Jerma. This game is marketed as a real horror game here. I thought I was buying a real horror game. People should know before they spend money that it's a meme game.
Dev lied and updated the game. Game sux now. Refunding IMMEDIATELY!! 5/5 would recommend
.....he went back on his promise and updated the game. he's ruining the candle as it was originally intended to be experienced.
Absolute Cinema. I streamed this live and the dev came into the stream (twitch.tv/Champion919Games) to tell me how to actually play the game and gave me tips on how to efficiently farm tickets off my underage workers. In all honesty though, unless you are a Jerma fan and are "in" on the bit, this game is really going to suck...BUT THAT'S OKAY! I feel like this is more of a joke at Jerma985's expense about the fact that no, Jerma does not know what makes a good horror game, or game in general, and his idea of 50 different dog breeds, a fully fleshed out carnival with minigames, and a casino that only has blackjack tacked onto a horror game where you are walking around a super dark mansion with a candle is indeed NOT a good idea. All in all, it's fun for a little while, especially if you are being helped by the literal developer of the game on how to play it. 8/10 It's got a little something for everyone!
Played with a fellow by the name of Lavalamp on a stream, beat the game both times before him while having to piss WICKED bad. As another said before I: "Oh dude I- The monster got me!"
We need to give this guy like a millions of dollars so he could keep making more candlelike games
dude i had to like piss wicked bad but like, that f*cking candle man, the monster got me 10/10 worst game i've ever played in my entire life
the candle, rated R
