Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is slow, atmospheric, and lovely. You tap to move, tap to examine, and solve environmental puzzles that fit naturally into the world instead of feeling bolted on. There's no combat, just curiosity.

The tap navigation is forgiving and there's a helpful highlight button if you get stuck on where things are. Text is readable and the pacing never rushes you.

Because it's mostly static scenes and ambient sound, it's extremely kind to your battery. I played for a full commute and barely dented the charge, and it never got warm.

What we liked

• Relaxing, no combat
• Optional hotspot highlighting
• Barely touches your battery
