Candela Obscura is an ongoing horror drama that follows an esoteric order of investigators as they use centuries of knowledge to fight back a mysterious source of corruption and bleed. Leveraging improv and gaming as story mechanics, the series features the Candela Obscura game, which is run on the Illuminated Worlds System, both created by Critical Role’s publishing company, Darrington Press.
This chapter of Candela Obscura will include investigators Aimee Carrero, Imari Williams, Alexander Ward, and Taliesin Jaffe alongside our Gamemaster, Liam O'Brien.
Taliesin Jaffe will also be continuing his role as our Lightkeeper.
Candela Obscura was originally created by Taliesin Jaffe and Chris Lockey, with Spenser Starke and Rowan Hall serving as lead game designers and writers. Steve Failows serves as our director and co-produced this project alongside Maxwell James.
Trailer Music by Universal Production Music.

just be aware that Liam's early games are a bit confusingly named (and not in order in the official playlist last I checked) so you might want to look at the wiki to get the right viewing order. "Liam's Quest: Full Circle" is a sequel to the first game Liam ever DMed (although it could be watched independently).

My guess that past just regular marketing, the team/players have the choice?
