What’s Stopping The Game Devotion To Be Relaunched?

Red Candle Games (Red Candles) is currently my top favourite game developer company, and that’s saying a lot considering it has only two games under their belt. I’ve always been a fan of Asian Horror genres, and Red Candle gets everything right in this manner.
