Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is a slow, atmospheric adventure and I mean that as a compliment. You wander a hand-drawn world, light lanterns to reveal paths, and solve environmental puzzles that lean on observation rather than obscure logic.

There's very little text, so the mood carries the game. Music swells at the right moments and the art is genuinely lovely. I found myself stopping just to look around, which almost never happens on mobile.

Puzzles range from gentle to properly tricky, but they always feel fair once you spot the trick. It's a game to savour over a few evenings, not to rush.
