Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is the quiet game in our lineup. You wander a hand-drawn village, light lanterns, and slowly uncover why the forest went dark. There's no fail state, just a lot of small discoveries and a soft, warm soundtrack.

The puzzles are light and mostly about observation. We never got stuck for long, which suited the mood. It's the kind of game you play before bed, not one that demands sharp reflexes.

If you want tension, look elsewhere, but as a calm thirty-minute escape it's lovely.
