Lanternfall
Released 28 October 2026 · PC · Indie, Strategy
Defend a handcrafted gothic Halloween world across fifteen haunted realms. Build and upgrade distinctive towers, counter armour and immunities, link aura towers to empower their neighbours, and carry your hard-won arsenal from one nightmarish battlefield to the next.
Story
Lanternfall is out now, and it will keep growing. We chose to release it as a complete game rather than in Early Access, so you get all fifteen realms from day one, with plenty of improvements and new content still to come. The corruption beneath the harvest has awakened. What begins in a familiar pumpkin patch leads through candlelit graveyards, crooked bridges, enchanted forests and increasingly impossible places. Every realm is a detailed animated gothic diorama, filled with flickering light, moving weather, hidden routes and enemies designed to test a different part of your defence. Build an arsenal, not a disposable loadout Towers you purchase enter your Tower Bank. Redeploy the towers you already own on later battlefields, improve them through multiple visible upgrade tiers, or sell them at a loss when a new strategy demands it. The choices made early in the campaign shape the resources and options available later. Read the threat before the wave arrives Enemy portraits reveal what is approaching and identify armour, immunity and movement type. Physical, fire, shock and magic attacks each have battles where they excel — and enemies that punish relying on only one...
