👻 Last Torch Standing

<p>Some doors are meant to stay shut. Last Torch Standing opens one anyway. Last Torch Standing is a free online survival defense game soaked in candle-lit dread. Your goal is simple to grasp and hard to master: banish creatures with light and protect your flame as long as you can. Creatures pour in from all four edges and only your light can push them back, so you will be tapping, prioritising and praying as the spawns speed up around your fragile flame.</p><p>Every detail, from the eerie procedural audio cues to the trembling glow of your light, has been tuned to make the scares land exactly when you least expect them. A built-in leaderboard tracks your survival score, so there is always one more run left in you — first you beat your own best, then you set out to beat everyone else's. It is perfect for fans of escape games, scary mazes and brain-teasing horror puzzles who want quality without the queue.</p><p>Like every ArcadeOwl title it runs instantly in your browser with no download, no sign-up and no plugins, and it plays beautifully on phone, tablet and desktop with full touch and keyboard support. Your progress and best scores are stored right in your browser, so you can step away and pick the hunt back up whenever you next dare to return. Dim the lights, turn the sound up, and see just how long you last.</p>
