More about this game
Your goal is to restore light to a forgotten shrine by navigating three distinct chambers. The core loop involves solving environmental puzzles, starting with pushing two crates onto glowing plates in the Courtyard of Moss to unlock the gate. In the Hall of Whispers, you must decipher a riddle and step on the correct rune to earn light shards. The difficulty lies in the riddle resetting if you guess wrong. A run ends when you successfully bring two shards to the final Lantern Shrine, recording your completion time.
Tips
- If you push a crate against a wall or into a corner in the Courtyard of Moss, it might get stuck, so plan your pushes carefully.
- The correct rune in the Hall of Whispers changes randomly between the wave, moon, and flame. If you step on the wrong one, the room resets.
- You need exactly two shards to relight the lantern. After collecting your first shard, you must solve the rune puzzle a second time before proceeding.
FAQ
- How do I open the gate in the first room?
- You must push both stone crates onto the two glowing plates in the Courtyard of Moss. Once both plates are pressed down, the gate will automatically open.
- What happens if I step on the wrong rune?
- If you choose the incorrect rune in the Hall of Whispers, you will hear a sound, a dust cloud will appear, and you will be teleported back to the start of the room to try again.
- Can I hide the on-screen joystick?
- Yes, you can open the settings menu by tapping the gear icon and toggle the joystick off. When hidden, you can simply drag anywhere on the screen to walk.
