Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow trades action for atmosphere, and it works. You wander a small town, talk to residents, and slowly piece together what happened there. The pacing is deliberate, so it's not for everyone, but the mood is genuinely lovely and the art carries a lot of the emotion.

Puzzles are woven into conversations and exploration rather than dropped in as obstacles. I never felt stuck for long, and the little moments of discovery kept me tapping through one more scene. It's a game to play with headphones, late at night.

What we liked

• Strong atmosphere and art
• Puzzles tied to the story
• Great for calm evening sessions
