Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is a quiet adventure game that trusts you to look around. You tap to move, examine objects, and slowly piece together why the coastal town went dark. There's no combat and no timer, just atmosphere and small puzzles woven into the environment.

The writing is understated and the hand-drawn art carries a lot of mood. I found myself lingering in rooms just to catch the little details. Puzzles are logical, the kind where the solution feels earned rather than obtuse.

It's a short game, maybe three or four hours, but it stayed with me afterward. If you want something calm and thoughtful for the evening, this is it.
