We think there might need to be an added clarification that leaving your candles lit isn't always a good idea - just to make it clear candles naturally burn out. And you might have to be cautious that you have a decent enough GM to balance character screen-time, because it might be a little unfair if some of your candles burn mostly out just because another player is taking a lot of time in a scene, and you didn't have chance to take a moment to relax. Just some initial thoughts!

Other than that, it seems absolutely awesome. Fabulous ideas on mechanics and sparking player interaction as gameplay. Definitely a game both of us are going to playtest when we can get our hands on some candles! 

Nice mechanic with the candles and story telling. There's a sense of urgency that is missing from other games without candles. This one is also sad without being too emotionally dark. And the die roll seems to be well balanced, too (as much as I dislike the 50% fail, at least it's on Difficult and not just Uncertain, with the added candle bonus). Very Nice.

 I'd like to see some recorded sessions of this played out to see if anyone manages to re-ignite the sun. Rolling a six with six lit candles should definitely do that, but at what cost?! Dun-dun-duuuuunnn!
