Candela Obscura is a collaborative investigative horror tabletop roleplaying game in a world simmering with occult magick. It is the very first game to use the Illuminated Worlds System– a newly designed system that uses 6-sided dice and lends itself to narrative, arc-driven play.
As an investigator of the paranormal secret society, Candela Obscura, you will be charged with protecting the world from deadly magickal phenomenas. This core rulebook is the “all you need to know” and more to explain and guide you through successful character building, gamemastering and gameplay.
