Lantern Tide

Lantern Tide is a free adventure game made with AI by @severin2, and you can play it right here in your browser.

You are the last lantern-keeper of a drowned old town. A small glowing spirit lamp floats at your side as you walk the dark, rain-streaked streets from above, passing houses whose warm windows glow through the night.

Your goal is to find 5 lost souls and light 12 lanterns across the town. Walk up to an unlit lamppost and your spirit light ignites it. Keep an eye on the two meters in the corner: Light shows how much glow you have left, and Flood tracks the rising water. Find the souls before the dark and the tide close in.

The game uses 32-bit lofi pixel art with soft dithered light, muted night colors, and steady falling rain. It is a quiet, melancholic walk with a small cozy companion. The in-game text is in German.
