Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is the kind of game that makes you slow down. You wander a hand-drawn forest at night, holding a lantern that reveals hidden paths and shy little creatures. There's no combat and no timer, just gentle puzzles and a mood that sticks with you.

The touch controls are simple: tap where you want to go, drag to inspect things. It never gets in the way. What impressed us was how much the game says without words, using light and sound to nudge you toward the next discovery.

We finished it in two sittings and immediately wanted to start again just to catch the details we missed. If you want something calm and beautiful, this is an easy recommendation.
