Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is a quiet, atmospheric adventure that leans into mood over action. You explore a shuttered lighthouse, solve environmental puzzles, and slowly piece together what happened to its last keeper. The art is hand-drawn and genuinely lovely.

There's no combat and no failure state, just curiosity and a gentle sense of dread. Puzzles are logical without being obtuse, and I never had to look up a guide. Everything runs offline, which suits a game you want to play late at night without distractions.

It's short, maybe four hours, but it stuck with me longer than games ten times its length.
