About This Game

Where Lanterns Lead is a single-player strategy RPG set against the eerie atmosphere of Chinese folklore. Learn combat skills, collect tactics, and shape your fighting style through monthly growth, encounters, and battles.

Build your own fighting style

Equip learned skills and combine tactics with different triggers. Balance damage, shields, poison, and action timing within limited slots. Adapt your loadout to each opponent, keeping an eye on resource costs, cooldowns, and use limits.

Make each month count

Plan your training, learn at the study hall, and choose which encounters to join. Limited energy, actions, and money make every step of your growth a decision.

Control the rhythm of battle

Action gauges determine when each side can move. Choose skills, use items, and respond to changes in health, shields, and status effects. Combine offense and defense to suit the fight.

Discover new combinations through fusion

Once planning becomes available, use two unequipped tactics of the same quality as fusion materials, then choose one result from the offered candidates to refine your build.

Walk between lantern light and old halls

Paper panels, bronze borders, and dim lanterns frame a world inspired by Chinese folklore. Choose a character and find your own path through growth, encounters, and combat.
