The city forgot the dawn. Carry a little light home.

Lanternwake is a platform adventure through a drowned city. Cross broken rooftops, awaken paths of cyan light, and carry three golden lights to the beacon in each of five forgotten districts.

A light between worlds

  • Find your way. Chain a second jump in midair and pulse your lantern to reveal temporary ghost bridges.
  • Rekindle the city. Disperse wandering echoes, light roadside checkpoints, and restore all five beacons.
  • Remember what was lost. Discover an optional memory in each district and revisit unlocked chapters.
  • Choose your pace. Enable Gentle Journey for unlimited air jumps, reduce motion, or adjust music and effects separately.
