COMPASSion: A Mender’s Tale
Released 19 October 2026 · PC · Adventure, Casual, Indie
Run a lantern-lit repair shop in a city that has forgotten its past. Fuse elemental seals on a circular compass, mend living puppets, and get to know the people behind each repair in this anime visual novel about memory, identity, and connection.
Story
Mend the people a city has forgotten Lanternfall lives beneath an unbroken night. Light is sold by the lantern, memories are unreliable, and the people at your door need someone willing to listen. You are Kai, a mender with an old diagnostic compass and a small repair parlour. Your customers are the Kindled: people whose spirits inhabit crafted bodies. A tired courier, a guarded archivist, a quiet lamplighter, and a masked stranger bring more than damaged seals to your counter. As Lantern Night approaches, their stories begin to reveal the truth behind the city's past—and your own. COMPASSion: A Mender’s Tale combines an anime visual novel with a distinctive compass-shaped matching puzzle. Careful work restores a customer's body. Paying attention may help mend something deeper. Find the pattern. Make the repair. Swap elemental seals along the compass's rings and spokes, fuse matching seals into stronger forms, and place them where a damaged part needs them. Plan around your lamp-oil supply, build cascading fusions, and charge resonance gauges to transform the seals on the board. Repairs introduce volatile charms, spreading rot ink, and immovable knots. Some jobs reward...
