Hollow Lantern

Hollow Lantern barely explains itself, and that's the point. You wake up in a dim, overgrown place with a lantern and a lot of questions, and the game trusts you to poke around and figure things out. I got lost, in the good way.

Movement is a virtual stick and it's responsive enough, though I recommend enlarging the touch zone in settings. The atmosphere is the star — the sound design alone kept me playing with headphones on.

It's easy on battery thanks to its calm pace and muted visuals. This is a game to sit with slowly, not to blitz. Easily one of my favourites here.
