Our take on The Lantern of the Laughless Saint
The game trades a tightly directed storyline for exploration and branching outcomes. That gives choices room to reshape residents’ fates and the amphitheater, but the open-ended structure may provide less immediate guidance than a linear adventure.
What is The Lantern of the Laughless Saint?
This solo or cooperative open-world RPG follows travelers drawn by shared nightmares to an isolated island and its silent Tower.
Exploration involves walking the land, following rumors, reading damaged history, finding shortcuts, and meeting unusual inhabitants. Quests can end through mercy, violence, compromise, or deceit, while choices alter the island’s amphitheater and the figures occupying its seats. Combat uses multiple weapon types against strange horrors. The entire game can be played cooperatively, with shared exploration, treasure gathering, and decisions about the island’s fate. Its central mystery concerns the Laughless Saint and a light buried beneath the Tower.
