About the Game
Enter a dark and smothering world where monstrous creatures both known and unknown roam and terrorize the populous. As a professional Hunter, take on bounties to rid areas of these enigmatic creatures.
Creatures by Candlelight is an anthology of “hunts” that mix card based and "choose your own adventure" like gameplay where taking down a creature against all odds is just another day (or night) on the job.All Part of The JobHere are just a few of the things you will experience while on a hunt…
Scenes
Travel between various Locations taking part in one Scene after another to progress your story while managing your resources and welfare. Inflict injuries on the Creature while avoiding injuries yourself. Inflict enough and win the hunt. Incur enough and lose all hope.
Events
In every Scene there is a chain of Events. But not all take place. After experiencing an Event, it’s on to another Scene. Use your Items, Actions, and choices to instigate or negate Events in order to realize your plans while mitigating the risks you face along the way.
Disasters
When tension builds, disaster approaches. If enough Tension cards are gained (by way of Events) then a Disaster is drawn. These may be momentary or persistent, but always to the detriment of the Hunter. Best to mitigate tension when possible as experiencing a disaster may be the tipping point to make the “hunter” the “hunted”.
Travelers
Not all Scenes are bound to a Location. Traveling cards move about the hunt’s locations just like the hunter.
Dice
To add dynamics and drama, dice are sometimes used in Events to determine their outcomes. Plans are sweet when they come together, but only when you know they could so easily fall apart.
Hunters’ AdvicePlay the odds of what Scenes and their Events are likely left to draw in each Location.
Leverage what Item cards, Action cards, and Injuries you currently have when comparing what Scenes and their Events are left for you to encounter in the various Locations. Timing, along with considering the odds, is important.
Look at and come to know the different Scenes in each Location. Doing so will allow you to plan your path of choices to (hopefully) defeat the main Creature(s).Initial HuntsHere are 3 of the initial Hunts planned for release (with more to come)...
“Swamp’s Plague" - In the dark danks of a swamp, fight against the corrupting influence of a moldy octopus-like creature that pollutes and infects the area in various ways.
“Beast of Frost Peak” - Traverse trepidly on and around a snowy mountain while pitting wits against a savage beast with boundless energy and power.
“They Crawl Beneath” - Vermin-like creatures have been running amok in a little city. Get your hands dirty helping the citizens regain control before being overrun with an infestation of epic proportions.
