Lantern & Key

Lantern & Key is a gentle adventure about a girl exploring an abandoned observatory. It's mostly about atmosphere, exploration and a handful of clever puzzles, and it never wears out its welcome.

Tapping to move and examine feels tailored for touch. The hand-drawn art is beautiful, and the ambient sound makes the empty rooms feel lived-in. Puzzles are logical, so you rarely resort to the hint system.

It's a few hours long and best played in one or two sittings. We finished it in a single quiet evening and immediately wanted more from these developers.
