Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is a quiet, atmospheric adventure set in a fog-wrapped village built around a dead lighthouse. You explore, solve environmental puzzles and piece together what happened to the people who left. The hand-drawn art and soft soundtrack do a lot of the heavy lifting.

The puzzles are logical rather than obtuse — you rarely need a guide, which we count as a win. Everything is self-contained offline, including a chapter select if you want to revisit a scene.

It's a short game, maybe four or five hours, but it lingers. A great pick for a long flight.
