Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is a mood piece as much as a game. You explore a small town at dusk, tapping through scenes, picking up items and solving environmental puzzles to move the story along. It's calm and a little melancholy in the best way.

The puzzles aren't punishing. Most of the time you're piecing together what happened here rather than banging your head on a locked box. The pacing gives you room to just look around, which the art really deserves.

I finished it in one long sitting and didn't want it to end. Everything runs offline, and there are no interruptions to break the atmosphere.
