About Paper Lantern

Paper Lantern is a finite game. Fifteen rooms, one street, one night. Every puzzle is built from objects already visible in the room, and nothing is hidden behind a pixel hunt.

The art is drawn on paper and scanned, so the frame rate of the animation is intentionally low and the grain moves. We built the renderer around that rather than against it.

There is no account, no purchase and no network call. The game is sold once and contains everything.

How it plays

  1. 01

    Finite by design

    Fifteen rooms, roughly two hours, one ending. Nothing is extended after purchase.

  2. 02

    No account, no network

    The game never opens a connection. There is nothing to delete because nothing is collected.

  3. 03

    Drawn on paper

    Every frame is scanned artwork. The renderer is built around the grain, not despite it.
