Lantern Coast

Lantern Coast is a slow adventure game about wandering a foggy coastal town and lighting its lanterns back to life. There is no combat and no timer. You poke at the environment, solve light puzzles, and slowly piece together what happened to the place.

The art carries it. Every screen is hand-drawn and layered, and tapping around just to see reactions is a pleasure. Puzzles are logical rather than obtuse, with a hint system that nudges instead of solving.

It is short, maybe four hours, and that feels right. We finished it over two evenings and never felt padded. If you want something calm to end the day with, this is an easy recommendation.

What we liked

• Beautiful hand-drawn screens
• Logical puzzles with gentle hints
• A calm, well-paced few hours
