Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is a slow, atmospheric adventure game. You explore a chain of abandoned lighthouses, solving environmental puzzles and piecing together what happened to the keepers. It trusts you to figure things out.

There's no combat and barely any text. The puzzles are built into the world itself, and the sound design does a lot of heavy lifting. A few puzzles stumped me for longer than I'd admit, but none felt unfair.

It's short, maybe four hours, but it stuck with me. If you want a calm, thoughtful experience rather than an action rush, this is worth your evening.
