Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is a quiet adventure game that trades combat for curiosity. You explore a misty village, talk to odd residents, and piece together why the lights keep going out. The pace is slow in the best way.

Puzzles lean on observation rather than obscure logic, so you rarely feel stuck for the wrong reasons. The art and ambient sound build a mood that lingers after you put the phone down.

It's short — a few evenings — but it never overstays its welcome, and the ending pays off the atmosphere.
