How it feels
Traversing hand-tuned caverns as a curious woodland creature, each jump and climb demands precision in a dark but not punishing world.

What players say
Players praise Lantern Bearer as a short, cute precision platformer with snappy controls and a steep difficulty curve. Each of the 5 worlds introduces its own gimmick, but many note that the final levels spike sharply in difficulty and some find the controls slippery or the late-game levels tedious. A few report slowdowns and a bug with low darkness settings.
