“Matches can be used to light up dark areas and to light torches and other lights by interacting with them.
”In-Game Hint
Matches are consumable items in Amnesia: Rebirth used to ignite long-term light sources in the world, in much the way as tinderboxes in The Dark Descent, as well as to provide short-term personal lighting.
By default, the R–key is used to light a match on PC.
Summary[]
The match's primary use is to ignite light sources in the environment, which will stay lit after the match is used up. These light sources affect Tasi's fear levels, by keeping it lower. However, unlike tinderboxes, matches can be used to light multiple light sources (lamps, candles, etc.) and also provide a short-term light source in place of the lantern. Matches are kept in Tasi's matchbook, which can hold up to 10 matches at a time.
When struck, a match will burn for a short period of time, during which the player can light any number of light sources. Erratic or overly quick movement will cause matches to burn out quicker.
Once lit, light sources can be extinguished by interacting with them.
Trivia[]
- If the player lights a match during a flashback monologue, the match will stay at its current state and not burn out until the flashback ends.
