What it is about
The Lantern Keeper
A Solo Journaling Game of Light, Silence, and Small Courage.
You are the keeper of a single flame.
Each candle you light, each question you answer,
becomes a trace of warmth in the dark.
How to Play
All you need is one six-sided die, a pen, and some quiet time (10-20 minutes).
Roll to receive your next scene, write your response, and let the story unfold.
You can arrive as yourself or as a character — both paths lead inward.
