Lanternborn

One minute before midnight, time stopped.
To keep his dying daughter, the royal astronomer pulled the forbidden Brake in the Great Clock — and the city of Caldera froze at 23:59. The sun cannot rise. Every light is sinking. And out of the stopped minute crawl the Hollows: fears, memories and unspoken words given hungry shape.
You are Mira, one of the Lanternborn — the few who still carry a Spark. Survive the minute, relight the city and climb toward the Clock.
Light is life
Your lantern is a circle of safety in the dark. Light the street lamps to push the night back, and keep the horde out of your glow — in the darkness the Hollows grow bolder.
A new street every time
Every run builds its streets anew: snowy villages, desert bazaars, ghost-train stations, flooded harbours, toxic factory yards and cemeteries — each with its own hazards. Go below through sewers, catacombs, mines and frozen caves, climb to the rooftops, open vaults and solve lever, rune and lights-out puzzles.
Break the Bells
Five acts, each ending with a Bell — a boss with its own rules. Between them lie the ten Element streets, the shifting Fractures, and military missions with tanks, aircraft and outlaw camps.
Grow stronger
Level up, spend points on attributes, find and wear gear, collect guns and grenades, pick upgrades during each run and forge permanent ones at the Last Lighthouse.
A story that remembers
Return to the Lighthouse between runs, talk to the survivors and piece together what really happened on the night the Clock stopped. Your choices decide how the night ends.
