Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is a quiet adventure game that trades action for atmosphere. You wander a hand-drawn village, light lanterns, solve small environmental puzzles and slowly piece together what happened to the place.

There's no fail state and no timer, which sounds like it might be dull but instead makes it the perfect wind-down game. Tapping through its painted screens before bed became a habit I didn't want to break.

The puzzles are light but never insulting, and the soundtrack is lovely. It's short, maybe four hours, but it doesn't overstay its welcome.
