Lantern Hollow

Lantern Hollow is a mood as much as a game. You wander a hand-drawn forest carrying a lantern, and the light reveals paths, creatures, and gentle puzzles. There's no timer, no pressure — just curiosity pulling you forward.

I kept finding little things: a hidden clearing, a tune that changed when I stood still, a door that only opened after I'd visited three others. It respects your patience and rewards it.

The story is told almost without words, which won't be for everyone. But if you want something calm to explore before sleep, few things on mobile do it this well.
