Lanternfall

Lanternfall begins on the night every lantern in the world went out. Forests, mountains, even the sea — all of it fell asleep in the dark. You are the new Lightkeeper, and with Glim the star-moth perched on your bow, you sail the old lantern route to wake it all back up. The boat sails itself; your only job is answering questions from your own study material. Every right answer is a spark, every spark lights a lantern, and every lantern wakes the stretch of world around it — color floods in, fireflies rise, windows glow.

There is no timer, no lives, and no game over. The boat waits as long as you need at every lantern, and a wrong answer costs you nothing: the missed question becomes a small glowing wisp that drifts along behind your boat and asks for another try a little later. Answer it right the second time and it turns into a firefly and joins the world. Anything still drifting at the end of a chapter is listed for you to study before your next voyage.

The route crosses three regions, each ending at a Great Lantern that takes three sparks to kindle. The Glimmerwood wakes with galloping glowharts. The Starfall Peaks reignite their aurora while frostfoxes run the ridge. And out on the Glass Sea, past the wreck of the old Keeper's ship, the Dawn Spire waits — light it, and you get to watch the first sunrise the world has seen in a long, long time.

Streaks make the voyage brighter: three right answers in a row and you're Kindled, five and you're Radiant, with an aurora ribbon trailing the boat and bonus light pouring in. Light is your score, chapters award up to three stars for accuracy, and the voyage map remembers every region you've woken — so you can sail back any time with a fresh set of questions.
