About This Game

🕯️ Light the way through a heartfelt puzzle platformer about friendship, forgotten paths, and glowing lanterns.

In Lighting Lanterns, you’ll guide three unlikely friends through a gentle, handcrafted world — from golden bamboo groves to autumn tea villages.

Light magical lanterns to reveal hidden bridges, bouncing flowers, and sleepy creatures. Switch between characters to solve cozy puzzles and uncover a warm, storybook-style tale — told by a soft narrator who stays with you every step.

✨ What makes Lighting Lanterns special?

🕯️ Light to Reveal
Lanterns awaken platforms, creatures, and entire paths — like painting warmth into the world.

🐾 Cozy, Not Challenging
Just light puzzle moments, gentle exploration, and small acts of kindness.

🎭 Three Playable Friends
Switch between a hopeful tanuki, a cautious bird, and a playful spirit to navigate gentle puzzles together.

🍂 30 Handcrafted Levels
From floating lantern isles to sleepy tea villages wrapped in autumn leaves — each biome tells a soft tale of its own.

📖 Narrated Like a Storybook
Inspired by Thomas Was Alone, your journey is guided by a warm narrator who brings heart to every step.

Lighting Lanterns is a quiet escape — perfect for fans of gentle platformers, narrative gems, and cozy moments of light.
☕ Best enjoyed with a blanket and a cup of tea.
