Lantern Announced
PRAGUE, Czech Republic, July 14th, in the year of our
Lord 2016 – 1C is happy to announce that it will try to
be bringing peace and harmony to PC gamers with Lantern.
Developed by Storm in a Teacup, this particular take on gaming
in East Asian-inspired environments is designed to evoke a
general sensation of positivity. It achieves this with a
laid-back pace, mellow gameplay and pleasing visuals, fostered
by an ambient East Asian soundtrack. Straightforward gameplay
and simple controls go hand-in-hand with the game’s relaxing
vibes, making it easy for players to just sit back and enjoy a
few tranquil moments of stress-free gaming.
The lyrical story of Lantern takes us to an imaginary world,
inspired by East Asian nature and architecture. A sad princess
has spread a veil of anguish over the land, and all of the color
and life has been drained away. But joy and love are slowly
finding their way back, through a magical Red Lantern that roams
the lands, gradually ridding them of sorrow and dreariness. The
players’ task is to guide the lantern through the environment,
spreading color and joy to everything in its path.
About the game
“Once upon a time, there was a very sad princess. She felt so
unloved and unhappy that everything around her became grey and
lifeless, and the entire land was deprived of color and joy. Our
fable begins when a single, lonely lantern was lit in a faraway
village…”
Be the wind and guide a beautiful sky lantern that spreads the
powerful message of everlasting love, bringing life and color
back to the world around you. Enjoy four beautiful East
Asian-inspired worlds, each with a different theme, nature and
architecture. Fly the magical red lantern as it spreads vibrant,
happy colors throughout these sad, grey lands.
The influence of the lantern’s light not only changes the color
of the world, but also has various other effects, such as
igniting other lamps, restoring animals to life, and making
windmills start spinning. Ultimately success will come once the
kingdom is full of color and happiness has returned to the land.
