About Flicker of Hope

Join Jean Wick in his quest to restore hope to a dying world by carrying on a dead monk’s mission to fill the cathedral with light. Use Jean’s douter and a mix of waxy tricks to avoid being detected by Mara, a nun who succumbed to despair as she tried to heal the overwhelming tides of plague victims, and the Legiones, giant insects who feast on the dead. Travel deep into the darkness to bring the world back to the light, or die trying.

Flicker of Hope was developed by Studio Whip, a group of students at Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA), over the course of eight months.

What could be a interesting stealthy puzzle platformer has been reduced to nothing but a rage game for me. The zombie Nun enemy seemingly see's you no matter what. Perhaps its a skill issue but regardless of how many different ways I tried to navigate one area, I died anyway. Not fun.

This is a great, pretty short game. The concept is incredible and the graphics are well done, It was a little hard to get used to the controls as someone who is new to gaming, but I loved it. I would give it a try! (I have only played a few games from first person POV where w is forward, but after a few minutes I got used to it). Even though it is a short game, I would quite like the ability to make a save file as I had to leave my laptop a few times and restarted the game a few times. There are saves in game when you pass certain points though.

You're a sensetive young man (candle) in a world of evil foids (zombie)

It's a short little game about a candle - nothing overly strenuous, but nice atmospherics, and best of all it's free! There's really no reason not to show some indie devs some love and check it out!

This game is genuinely worth a try. From the story, to the jumpscares, from my boy Jean being the goat. Me and Jean are js like that yk? WE ARE LOCKED LIKE THAT. ♥♥♥♥ that demon and W Jean. Anyways the jumpscares arent crazy but they hit you hard. Its the first time that I have genuinely jumped from a jumpscare in a game. I love this game and in my opinion it shouldnt be free even if its a short story. I would LOVE to see more of the GOAT Jean in the future and would recommend this game to anyone. I hated the part where the story was short tho. I enjoyed the story but it shouldve been longer. Anyway PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!
