The Lamp Burns Golden, On

Something out there is after you. If the light goes out, it will surely get you. Find the ancient runes left behind by others to aid you.  And whatever happens... the lamp must burn golden, on.

Horror survival-ish clicker game made for Scream Jam 2024. Play either in-bowser or download the game. Only a mouse is needed to play! For best effect, use headphones and play in full-screen mode. Please note that the game does not have a "win" state. Use the runes wisely and survive as long as you can!
