Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is a quiet adventure game that trusts you to wander. You explore a hand-drawn village at night, lighting lanterns, solving gentle environmental puzzles, and slowly uncovering why the place emptied out. It's atmosphere first, challenge second.

The touch controls are clean, mostly tap-to-move with a few object interactions. What sold me was the art and the sound: rustling trees, distant chimes, the soft glow spreading as you light your way. It's the rare mobile game that feels calming rather than demanding.

There isn't much of a fail state, so if you want tension this isn't your game. As a wind-down experience, though, it's lovely, and it never nags you to come back.
