Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is an atmospheric adventure where you explore a dark underground city holding only a lantern that slowly dims. It's more about mood and discovery than combat, with light puzzles tucked into the environment.

The touch controls are simple — tap to move, drag to look around — and they rarely got in the way. The dim visuals are easy on the battery, and the sound design is good enough that headphones are worth it. There's a comfortable autosave so you never lose progress.

Some puzzles are a little vague, and we got stuck once without a clear hint. Still, the sense of place kept us going. It's a quiet, memorable little trip.
