In Lantern Lighter, step into the shoes of a guardian tasked with a noble mission: to bring light to a darkened world. As the keeper of an ancient lantern, your journey will take you through forgotten landscapes, from desolate ruins to once-thriving towns now lost in shadow. Each area you illuminate reveals part of a larger, interconnected story, uncovering secrets of the past and hopes for the future. With every flicker of your lantern, you restore warmth and life, affecting the environments and the creatures within them.
Your lantern isn't just a source of light; it's a powerful tool that interacts with the environment in magical ways. Solve puzzles and unlock pathways by casting light or shadows at strategic locations. The gameplay combines elements of adventure and puzzle-solving, requiring thoughtful exploration and clever manipulation of light. As you progress, upgrade your lantern's capabilities, allowing for different light effects that can reveal hidden items or activate ancient mechanisms. The art style is atmospheric, with visuals that convey a sense of both melancholy and wonder, reminiscent of the aviator's view from above—a world detailed yet distant—and the swift, jet-like spread of light that banishes darkness.
