* JumpScare: The game relies primarily on atmosphere though it features a few jumpscares.
** There's a big one early on when the player first encounters Mara: [[spoiler:as Wick finds the douter lying on a table, Mara suddenly rises up behind him and grabs hold of him]].
** Other notable examples occur later in the game, including [[spoiler:the floor abruptly crumbling beneath Wick]] and [[spoiler:Mara's arm reaching down to try and grab Wick as he travels through the crypt]].

* WeNeedADistraction: Wick can use some of his wax to create a small "buddy" candle the player can simultaneously control, which can be used to distract enemies and allow Wick to slip by unnoticed.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Mara, according to the creators and the game's download page, was originally a kind woman who tried to heal the plague victims, but was eventually overwhelmed by the sheer amount of sick and dying people, eventually [[DespairEventHorizon succumbing to despair]].

* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The game appears to take place in a single night with Wick traversing a cathedral in that time, which is understandable given that he's only got little legs.

* IncurableCoughOfDeath: At the beginning, the priest can be heard coughing and wheezing before dropping dead of plague.

!!Contains examples of:
* AnimateInanimateObject: Jean Wick, the player character, is a living candle with little limbs who can magically light other candles. It's not entirely clear how and why he's alive and sapient, though it's possible he was brought to life to fulfil the dying priest's mission to bring the light back (the other candles in the cathedral don't appear to be animate).
* DarknessEqualsDeath: Played with. Mara and the demonic flies known as Legions are attracted to Wick's flame and you can use a douter to dim the light and sneak by. Both enemies will try to snuff out the flame if they spot Wick; if they succeed he dies. Ditto if Wick melts completely.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Mara has these, combined with RedEyesTakeWarning, though they aren't always visible due to her upper face being partly hidden by her wimple.
* LifeMeter: Jean Wick's health is represented by how tall he is, as he continuously loses wax from melting. Standing in puddles of wax will make him regrow and if he gets too short he will burn out.
* LightIsGood: Light represents life and benevolence in the game. If Wick's flame goes out he dies, lighting candelabras sets them as checkpoints and the entire goal is to bring the light back into the cathedral and drive back the darkness. Mara and the demonic flies actively seek to prevent the light from being restored.
* MeaningfulName: The candle's surname is Wick, as in ''candle'' wick, get it?
* NunTooHoly: One of the main antagonists is an undead nun named Mara, who succumbed to despair over the plague and has seemingly aligned herself with the forces of evil. She constantly hunts Jean Wick, seeking to snuff out his light.
* OneHitKill: If Mara catches Wick, she will instantly kill him by snuffing out his flame.
* PosthumousCharacter: The priest who was attempting to bring light back to the cathedral before he succumbed to the plague; we only see his outstretched, plague-infected hand after he dies. Jean Wick must complete his mission.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Mara and the Legion both have a cloud of black and red smoke trailing after them.
* ShoutOut: The player character's name is an apparent reference to Film/JohnWick ("Jean" is pronounced like "John" in French).
* VaderBreath: Mara has rather loud, raspy breathing (possibly from the plague that ravaged the cathedral), which can be a tell-tale sign she's nearby.
