Blue Torch is a dark, gothic medieval fantasy 2D platformer where choices shape the fate of Gerda, a squire maiden punished by the sun goddess after failing to protect her champion, who must now climb the tower of the dark king Dunharr to light the sacred fire with the flame of her torch, which carries the fallen champion's soul. The gameplay blends classic platforming with a system where the torch's light is movement, magic, and survival all at once: every ability used reduces Gerda's protection from the darkness and corruption, and enemies are dealt with through environmental puzzles rather than direct combat. Visually, the game features gothic pixel art with a cold color palette, using golden yellow for corruption and vivid blue for the torch as accents that reinforce both the narrative and the game's sense of loneliness and suspense.
