From BoardGameGeek

The veil between worlds is thin, and shadows stir in the forgotten tombs of emperors. You are an "Earth Sapper", a master of forbidden arts, venturing into darkness where others fear to tread. Welcome to Netherworld Candle, a cooperative campaign adventure. Together, you will delve into perilous ancient tombs, unearth long-lost secrets, and confront ancient evils that threaten to consume the world. Navigate treacherous environments, solve intricate puzzles, and battle terrifying supernatural entities as you uncover a thrilling narrative where your decisions have real consequences. Will you embrace your destiny, or succumb to the darkness? Netherworld Candle is a cooperative adventure game set against the tumultuous backdrop of early 19th-century China, where ancient myths are violently unleashed amidst the clash of empires. The experience spans a core game, four full expansions, and a massive stretch goal box packed with content. The game's background is based on real historical events. You will be in the eastern continent in the late 19th century, amidst the chaos of the fall of the Qing Empire and revolutionary uprisings, seeking the meaning of your existence. -description from the publisher
