Lamplighter

Lamplighter is a story-driven puzzle game set in London in 1807, when gas street lamps are beginning to light the streets at night. You are a lamplighter, responsible for keeping them lit, and your work brings you into contact with people whose hopes and fears are shaped by the new technology.

Light the streets

Solve grid-based logic puzzles by creating regions of light and darkness. Regions of the same color cannot touch, and solving the puzzles keeps London’s streets lit.

Shape the story

You meet characters along your lamplighting route, and your use of this strange new technology can affect their opinions. Dialogue choices and puzzle-solving determine the story’s outcome: whether London accepts progress or fear prevails.
