oh wow, that's really cool hack then! I think people would be interested in how to incorporate that stuff, it probably opens up a lot of options.
I think I must have moved up or something after clicking the first candle, basically I got stuck in state where I could either move to turn the candle off, or use the other mechanic, but I could only alternate between the candle being on and off, not return to the room. I was probably being too enthusiastic!
