What is 千灯巷 Thousand Lantern Lane?
This first-person horror adventure follows a character and a companion who become lost in an abandoned Japanese-style town during a rainy night.
A journal found in an old teahouse points to an ancient ritual and a hidden shrine at the town’s center. Players investigate the town, read clues, clear obstacles, place offerings, and light candles in a specified sequence. The journey includes encounters with skeletons, ghosts, zombies, and other strange events. Equipment includes swords, guns, umbrellas, magic, and obstacles that can be deployed around monsters. Movement uses the WSAD keys, while B opens the inventory, M displays the map, and E retracts the equipped item.
