About Lantern Valley
Bring the light back, one small adventure at a time. As Tina, an apprentice knight with wings on her helmet, collect scattered Sparks and relight the village lanterns before the Night of a Thousand Lights.
Jump, glide and fly across a miniature world. Repair your boat and discover five islands, or stop to fish, tend a garden, cook by the campfire and care for your pets. Follow the quests toward the lighthouse, or take a quiet moment to watch the day turn into night.
Created by Anderson Mancini, Lantern Valley is free to play in your browser on desktop and phone, with English and Brazilian Portuguese available in the game. It uses Three.js and WebGPU, with an automatic WebGL2 fallback. In his making-of, Anderson explains how narrowing the adventure to five islands and testing its quest engine helped him finish the story.
