About Lantern Wayfarner
Lantern Wayfarner is a 2D platformer with a fantasy story. The bell has gone silent and a thick murk covers the land, and only one traveler still carries a light. You play as that Wayfarer and bring the beacons back to life.
The moves include running, jumping, wall-jumping and dashing. The lantern is the central puzzle tool: spirit platforms appear only inside its glow, so you have to use your light wisely. Hold the flare to scout the darkness ahead, push back gloom wisps and shadow creatures, and stomp enemies.
Light every beacon, find waylamps that save your progress and face the giant shadow beast Murkmaw at the end of each world. The game runs on desktop and phones.
How to play Lantern Wayfarner
