About Lanternborne
A story-driven dark fantasy survivor-like. The sun is gone and demons rule the world. Ilan, the last lamplighter, has no powers: he only walks, and his weapons aim and fire on their own. Cross 100 levels in 10 cursed lands along the old Lamplighters' Road, relight every street lamp behind you so the dark cannot spawn there, collect 16 weapons from dagger to gatling, buy perks from the Chained Merchant, solve movement puzzles and defeat a boss at the end of each land until you reach Lucifer.
How to play
Move with one finger: touch anywhere and drag to steer Ilan (virtual joystick). On desktop use WASD or the arrow keys, or hold the left mouse button to walk toward the cursor. Your weapons aim and fire at the nearest demon by themselves. Walk the road to the exit, relighting lamps on the way. Chests, the merchant and puzzles trigger when you walk up to them. Demons drop coins: spend them on new weapons, upgrades and perks between levels. Press P or the pause button to pause.
Tips and tricks for Lanternborne
Lanternborne is a dark fantasy survivor-style action game where Ilan, the last lamplighter, walks a cursed road through demon-filled lands. Your weapons fire on their own, so your focus is on movement and positioning.
- Keep Ilan moving in wide loops rather than standing still, since your weapons aim at the nearest demon and you need space to keep them in range.
- Relight the street lamps you pass on the way, as the description says the dark cannot spawn in lit areas, which makes lamps a safe zone to retreat toward.
- Spend coins between levels on upgrades that improve the weapons you already have rather than buying many weak new ones.
- Check the Chained Merchant and chests when they are close, because they only trigger when you walk up to them, so plan a short detour for them.
- Use the pause key P to step back and look at the map layout before you push forward into a crowd.
