About the Game

You wake up deep beneath the village: alone, unarmed, and with nothing but a fragile flame.

Light is your key.
But it’s also your curse.

Your torch burns through your lifeblood. Every step, every second, every flicker eats away at your soul.
And not every light leads to salvation. Some only want you dead.

"The Last Lantern" is a tight, challenging platformer where survival means moving fast, choosing wisely, and sacrificing more than you should.

Developer Notes

Made by @pixigb and @faitor over 3 days for Untitled Game Jam #111.
No story fluff. No safe checkpoints. Just a cold dungeon, fading light, and one last breath.

Thanks for playing.
Now go die in the dark.
