Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern is a quiet, atmospheric adventure that trusts you to explore. There's no map cluttered with markers, just a lantern, a lot of dark corners, and small puzzles built into the environment.

The controls are simple swipe-to-move with tap interactions, and it works beautifully for the deliberate pace. I lost track of time wandering and piecing together what happened to the place.

It's easy on the battery and stays cool, which suits a game you'll play curled up somewhere. If you want a story to sink into rather than a challenge, this is it.
