Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is a quiet, atmospheric adventure that trusts you to explore without hand-holding. You wander a foggy town by tapping to move and interacting with objects, piecing together what happened to the people who left.

The puzzles are logical and grounded — no moon-logic combinations, just careful observation. We especially liked how the lantern mechanic reveals hidden paths only in darkness, which turns backtracking into something purposeful.

It's short, maybe four hours, but it lingers. This is a play-in-one-sitting kind of game and it's better for it.

What we liked
