Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is a quiet adventure game that leans hard on atmosphere. You wander a foggy coastal town, tap to examine things, and slowly piece together why everyone left.

The puzzles are woven into the story rather than dropped in as filler. Most solutions come from paying attention to what characters say and what the environment shows you. Nothing felt cheap or trial-and-error.

It's short-ish, maybe four or five hours, but it stuck with me. The kind of game you play in a couple of long offline sittings and think about afterward.

What we liked

• Strong atmosphere
• Puzzles tied to the story
• Great one-sitting length
