Lantern Hollow: Merge | HTML5 Valley Relighting Game
Lantern Hollow: Merge | HTML5 Valley Relighting Game, a complete and cozy merge game built with plain JavaScript. Nell comes to her Gran’s forgotten valley and one wish: relight every lantern before Lantern Night. Tap the generators for tools, wood, lanterns, mushrooms, glow flowers and cloth, merge two of a kind into something better, hand the finished item to the valley friend who asked for it and spend the stars you earn to relight the valley, one job at a time.
Every repair is a small show: the broken fence, boat or roof gets restored in front of you, in a soft patch of light that blooms across the painting. Nell and her moth Flit walk to each next job. When a place is finished the interface slips away and the whole place is relit, repair by repair. Six places later the lantern tree glows, Lantern Night begins and the story reaches its ending.
