Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is a calm adventure game you play with one hand. You tap to move, examine, and combine a handful of items, solving gentle puzzles as you piece together why the village went quiet. It's atmosphere first, challenge second.

The art is hand-drawn and the sound design carries a lot — footsteps, distant wind, the click of a latch. Puzzles never got frustrating, which suits the mood. We finished it in a couple of relaxed evenings.

If you want tension or twitch skill, look elsewhere. If you want something to wind down with, this is a lovely little trip.
