Introduction:
Candle: The Power of the Flame is a puzzle adventure game which follows Teku, a young man who must save his kidnapped tribe – and in particular, the tribe's shaman – from an enemy tribe. Teku isn't an ordinary young man, however – one of his hands is a candle, and this may just help him save the day.
While the art style is gorgeous, and overall the game is worth a play, keep in mind that the controls are a bit "heavy", which can make some of the platforming sections more difficult than they should be. Still, there's not too much of a challenge here, even for people who don't regularly play platformers.
Trophy-wise, the game is not difficult but nearly the entire list is missable. Take advantage of the eight manual save slots you have at your disposal – at the very least, I recommend having one separate save at the beginning of each act. If you only pay attention to one of the missable trophies the entire game, make sure it's Light Guide, which requires you to light everything you can over the entire game. Thankfully, you'll be required to light most things but there are still some candles you can miss.

Walkthrough:
Note that while I've broken this walkthrough up into the game's Acts, there is no scene/Act select in the game. Nearly all trophies are missable! At the very least, make a save at the beginning of each Act!
Step 1: Play through the Prologue
The prologue is just long tutorial to get you used to the game's controls. It's easiest to unlock one of the missable trophies here as opposed to later in the game.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Alley-oop
Adventure awaits
Step 2: Play Act 1
To get through Act I, you will want to find a boat key and two coins so you can pay the boat captain to take you to the next area of the game. There are a few miscellaneous (but missable) trophies to also unlock here and don't forget to light everything possible.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Back Slap
Rainmaker
Leap of Faith
Hara-Kiri
Run, Teku!
Dammit!
Across the marshes
Step 3: Play Act II
To get through Act II, you will need to rescue a villager and gain entry deep into the Wakcha's stronghold. Don't forget about the miscellaneous missable trophies here and keep working on lighting everything you can!
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Sticky Plants
Do not annoy the animals
Nice try...
Merman
My Baby Blue
Oops!
The great storm
Step 4: Play Act III
Act III is the final one in the game. You're almost done but there's still some missable trophies to watch out for. There's also still a few candles left to light as well, for the one game-spanning trophy.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Feels like Another World
How ironic!
Bird Mother
Perfect Match
Your courage is not enough
The light of hope
...and hopefully:
Light Guide
...and finally: Completionist ! Congratulations!
