Launches 9 October 2026 · PC · Adventure, Indie
Follow a trail of candy into an abandoned manor on Halloween night in this short, first-person retro style horror experience. Explore its darkened halls, uncover its secrets, and survive the mysterious figure stalking you before you become the night’s final treat.
Story
Some trails should never be followed... On Halloween night, a trail of candy leads you beyond the gates of an abandoned manor. There should be nobody around, but something has been waiting for you. But you already fell through... The Candyman: Legacy is a short, atmospheric first-person horror game inspired by the low-poly visuals and unsettling simplicity of the retro. Armed only with a flashlight, you must search the manor and its surrounding grounds for a way forward while a mysterious presence watches from the darkness. Find the keys that will carry you deeper, uncover the secrets hidden within the estate, and discover the identity of the figure haunting your every step as you explore a sprawling dark hedgemaze, investigate a volcanic library, transverse the horrid sewers, navigate the abyssal corridors, and ascend into the Candyman’s lair. Running may keep you alive for a little longer - but eventually, you will have to face what lurks inside as you face a tense final confrontation with the Candyman. And the trail will continue... The Candyman: Legacy is where the nightmare began. The Candyman: Origins is where it will continue... Follow the candy trail, if you...
