Lanternwick Trail

Lanternwick Trail is a gentle narrative adventure you explore by tapping around gorgeous hand-drawn scenes. You collect odd little items, talk to townsfolk, and slowly untangle a mystery about a lighthouse that won't stop blinking.

The puzzles are logical rather than obscure, so we rarely got stuck in that frustrating way old adventure games could. When we did, a soft hint system nudged us without spoiling the fun.

It's short, maybe five or six hours, but it's the kind of thing you remember. Perfect for a quiet evening offline.
