Candles are the four items Suzy asks you to collect after you survive the special friend’s hide-and-seek encounter in Suzy Says!. Placing all four around the interactive mat completes the ritual, and the subsequent command, “look at these symbols,” leads to the true ending.

How to Complete the Candle Task

The candle hunt comes after the special friend encounter. Your objective is to collect four candles and place them in their required positions around the mat.

The available information confirms the quantity and placement destination, but does not identify individual candle locations, exact placement positions, or interaction controls. Follow Suzy’s instructions during this sequence; the walkthrough below covers the supported progression and the signs that you have completed it.

1. Survive the Special Friend

Complete the hide-and-seek encounter to reach the candle hunt. Opening the front door or failing to hide results in the creature catching you, preventing that run from progressing to the candles. [src-d097ca8d18]

Once the creature leaves without finding you, return to the television. Suzy congratulates the girl on being good at hide-and-seek before giving the next instruction. [src-334d9626ca]

2. Collect Four Candles

When Suzy asks for candles, collect four in total. This is the required quantity for the ritual.

No supported room-by-room route or list of candle hiding places is provided in the available sources. Use the in-game instructions to locate them, keeping track of the four-candle requirement as you proceed.

3. Place the Candles Around the Mat

Place the collected candles in their required positions around the interactive mat. Collecting them is only part of the objective: all four must be placed to complete the ritual.

The sources describe the arrangement as being around the stepping mat, but do not give a numbered placement order or a diagram. Follow the positions indicated by the game.

4. Watch for the Ritual Completion Announcement

After all four candles are placed, Suzy becomes extremely excited, looks directly at the player, and announces that the ritual is complete. Several strange symbols then appear.

This announcement is the clearest supported confirmation that you have finished the candle placement. The symbols mark the next part of the ending sequence.

5. Follow the Symbols Command

The command “look at these symbols”, following the four-candle placement, leads to the true ending. Continue with that instruction if reaching this ending is your goal.

The candle task therefore has two useful milestones: placing all four candles completes the ritual, while the symbols command leads into the ending.

What Happens After the Ritual

Ending spoilers follow.

The true ending pulls the player into the television. One account describes Suzy putting the player to sleep or taking over before drawing them into the TV.

The more detailed account describes a completely dark void, with the television still visible ahead. The girl can hear her mother calling her name, and Suzy is standing behind her when she turns around. That account portrays the setting as a digital prison where the girl appears trapped with Suzy and the dark creature while her mother searches for her at home.

The score screen afterward thanks the player for playing. The sources do not explain exactly what happens to the trapped children beyond this ending. [src-334d9626ca]

Subtitle Timing Note

The subtitle “Mom interrupted our fun” previously appeared incorrectly during the candle hunt and was later corrected by the developer. The actual phone call belongs before the hiding sequence.

If you are comparing your playthrough with an older recording, that misplaced subtitle can make the order confusing. The supported sequence is: phone call, hiding encounter, candle hunt, ritual completion, and the symbols command.
