Armed with only a candle and the echoes of her past failed attempts, Luna must navigate a shifting underground world filled with traps, layered puzzles, and dangerous patterns. Each flicker of light is more than a tool — it’s a symbol of determination, persistence, and the belief that even in the darkest places, something bright remains.
