Product Description You awaken in the suffocating darkness, your mind blank and your only companion a flickering candle. In "The Night Cage," you and up to four others are trapped in an eerie underground maze, forced to work together to escape its shifting paths and relentless Wax Eaters. This fully cooperative, horror-themed game delivers an immersive tile-laying experience, where players must collect keys, find an exit gate, and escape as a group. The catch? The dim light of your candles illuminates only adjacent tiles, and paths left behind are swallowed by darkness. Every move reshapes the maze, increasing tension and demanding clever strategy. With intuitive rules that can be taught in minutes, "The Night Cage" is accessible to newcomers while offering depth and challenge for experienced gamers. Its unique mechanics and thematic design create a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat experience that’s perfect for game night. Adjustable difficulty levels and an Advanced Game mode keep the thrills alive for endless replayability. Will your candle burn long enough to light the way out, or will the darkness claim you?
