Thousand Lantern Lane

Thousand Lantern Lane is a first-person horror story set in a Japanese-style ancient town. You and your girlfriend or friend become lost there on a rainy night and investigate the town’s secrets in search of a way home. The town is haunted by skeletons, ghosts and zombies, as well as events that defy common sense.

The town’s secrets

Seeking shelter, you find an old teahouse that appears abandoned but is clean and tidy inside. There, you discover a yellowed journal describing the town’s history, perplexing events and an ancient ritual. Its final page points to a hidden shrine in the town’s center, where the key to solving the mystery lies.

At the shrine, you clear vines and weeds from the entrance, then follow the journal’s instructions to place offerings and light candles in a particular order. Halfway through the ritual, the rain stops and the surroundings fall silent. A voice tells of the town’s past, and a beam of light reveals a hidden passage that may lead you home.

Items and encounters

You can use items including swords, guns, umbrellas, magic and deployable obstacles. These items can interact with the monsters in the environment.
