About This Game

Pandora’s Lantern is a 2D dark-fantasy action-adventure platformer about loneliness, light, time, and the strange comfort we find in the places where we hide.

Pandora is a misunderstood witch who has learned to live with solitude. She finds refuge among crystals, strange places where time seems to stretch and the darkness feels a little less empty.

But waiting for Death is not the same as living.

Armed with her lantern, Pandora must leave the safety of her refuge and travel through a mysterious world shaped by light and shadow. Explore forgotten places, overcome environmental challenges, solve puzzles, face dangerous creatures and discover what remains hidden beyond the darkness.

The lantern is more than a source of light. It is part of the way Pandora interacts with the world around her — revealing paths, confronting danger and helping her move deeper into places that were meant to remain unseen.

Explore a hand-crafted world

Journey through distinct regions filled with platforms, hidden routes, environmental hazards, puzzles, strange mechanisms and creatures that respond to Pandora’s presence.

Master movement, light and gravity

Run, jump, fight, manipulate elements of the environment and learn to use Pandora’s abilities to navigate increasingly unusual spaces.
