Long ago, the Lantern Inn was the last warm room before the deep. Then the lights below went out. The roads went dark, the guests stopped coming, and the great hearth went cold.
You arrive at a ruin. Clear the rubble, light the hearth, and open the trapdoor. Down there, every hero carries a small light and the dark is where things hunt you.
Fast, readable co-op combat in a dungeon that changes every expedition. Fight through the Crypt, the Sunken Ruins and the Black Keep, find secret walls and vaults, and carry ingredients home: monster parts, cave mushrooms, glowing moss, rare spices.
Cook the haul into meals and eat them together at the table. Every meal makes the party stronger for the next delve, and every trip down makes the Inn a little warmer.
Outside the party's lanterns the room is black and enemies are just eyes. Shades grow strong in the dark, braziers and flare arrows push it back, and some ingredients only grow where no light reaches.
A shield wall that blocks for the whole party, and breaks cracked walls.
A bow you plant and draw for a piercing shot, flare arrows that light up a room.
Frost and fire, freezing foes so heavy hits shatter them, and reading sealed runes.
The biggest light, a beacon that heals, and the fastest revives.
Twin daggers, smoke steps and strikes from the dark edges of the light.
Clear debris for salvage, build the cooking pot, the long table, the sconces and the bar where they once stood. Rescue the old staff held captive below (a Builder, a Cook, a Barkeep, a Housekeeper and a Singer) and they come home to work. With the Builder back, buy new rooms: a garden grotto, a taproom with a stage, a kitchen and guest rooms.
Turn the sign and the Inn opens for the evening. Clients walk in, order from tonight's menu (cooked from your own pantry), chat, tip and leave. Serve them yourselves or let the staff do the work, and count the night's coins in the morning.
24 recipes to find and master, a garden, a fishing well, Shadow Dice at the table, a smithy, a merchant, gear to wear and a mirror to change your look.
1 to 4 players. Local co-op on one screen with gamepads, or online with friends through Steam, with built-in voice and text chat. Enemies and pacing scale to the size of the party, and a director watches the fight: it gives you room to breathe, sends more when you're winning, and drops supplies when you're struggling.
