The Lantern of Lost Souls

In the half-light, the Lantern hums—a weight far heavier than it appears, a whisper that calls to what lingers beyond. Given to you, or perhaps claimed in a moment you can’t quite remember, it now burns with an ancient hunger. When its flame flickers to life, the dead come, drawn from the shadows where they’ve waited, bound to the places they loved, fought, and died. You are their witness. In The Lantern of Lost Souls, a solo journaling game of spectral encounters and haunted memories, you take up the Lantern to explore forgotten corners of the world, revealing the souls of the damned. Each time you light it, a new spirit emerges—tragic, malevolent, or lost to time. Guided by tarot cards, you’ll uncover their stories, face their demands, and decide how to respond to the echoes of lives left unfinished. Will you offer solace, seek redemption, or risk your own soul to escape their grasp? Your journal becomes a testament to these encounters, as you journey through desolate landscapes, unraveling the mysteries of the dead, and perhaps, your own connection to the Lantern. How long can you carry the weight of their stories? How much of yourself will you leave behind with them? Light the Lantern, and step into the shadows. The souls are waiting.
