Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is an atmospheric adventure you explore by tapping around hand-painted scenes. You piece together why a lighthouse town emptied out, solving environmental puzzles and reading notes left behind. It's melancholy in the best way.

The whole story is on the device, so I played most of it during a weekend with spotty signal and never noticed a hiccup. Puzzles are logical, hints are optional, and the art alone kept me tapping through to the end.

What we liked

• Beautiful hand-painted scenes
• Logical, non-frustrating puzzles
• A complete story with no online gate
