Description

The dark is waiting. Your lantern still burns. Unfading Lantern is a gothic action-platformer about a small lantern-bearer descending into the depths. With a sword in hand, a hammer on your back and a single light to guide you, you must reach the heart of the depths. But beware: as your health drops, your lantern dims and the darkness closes in. EVERY DESCENT IS DIFFERENT The halls rebuild themselves on every run. Platforms, traps, enemies and hidden passages shift each time you go down. Don’t memorize — master. FLUID, SATISFYING COMBAT Chain fast sword combos, smash shields with your heavy hammer, then throw it and call it back. Roll through attacks, take a sip from your flask to recover, and turn your lantern into a weapon with the Light Lance. TEN ZONES, TEN NIGHTMARES - The Gearworks – first steps among rusted pipes and turning gears - Shadow Cellar – pitch-black corridors only your lantern can open - The Library – flying tomes and dangers hidden between dusty shelves - Crystal Vein – caverns overgrown with glowing crystals and vines - Neon Archive – corridors ruled by circuits and ghostly guardians - The Mess Hall – a kitchen of blood-stained butchers and rusted hooks - Volcanic Archive – a passage between molten lava and burning books - Chemical Vault – acid pools and the laboratory of plague doctors - Spirit Library – pale halls where time stands still - Heart of the Depths – the darkest depth, where it all began COLOSSAL GUARDIANS At the end of every zone a terrifying boss with its own attack patterns awaits: the Stone Warden, the Ancient Shadow, the Guardian of the Books, the Ancient Crystal Sprout, the Mechano-Symbiotic Protocol, Head Cook Tosun, the Volcanic Archivist, the Alchemical Guardian and the Chronos Protector. At the very bottom: the Dark Mirror and the Lord of Shadows. Read their moves, find the opening, bring them down with your light. GOTHIC HORROR ATMOSPHERE Face hunched hunters, wolf-like beasts, crawling corpses and clawed wraiths in a gothic world given depth by light and shadow. FALL, GROW STRONGER, DESCEND AGAIN Spend the sparks you collect on permanent upgrades at the Hearth: more health, sharper steel, a spare flask, a deeper pouch. Even when you fall, half your sparks stay with you. Pick boons between stages to shape each run into a new build. FIND YOUR STYLE Unlock dozens of costumes for your hero, sword, hammer and health bar. BUILT FOR PC AND XBOX On Xbox: fully controller-first gameplay, TV-safe layout and rumble support. On PC: keyboard, mouse and controller support with fullscreen play (press F11 for windowed). No ads, no interruptions on either platform. Just you, your lantern and the dark. Available in English and Turkish.
