The Lamplighter is a third-person exploration platforming game that focuses on the adventure of the eponymous character in the ruins of a forgotten civilization.
In the game, the player must alternate between the two characters and leverage their unique abilities in order to remove obstacles, light lamps, and clear the path forward, as they interact with each other and a mysterious figure known only as "The Mentor". The player must cobble together scraps of knowledge from dialogue, exploration, and inference to unveil the secrets behind their creation, their creators, and their purpose.
Throughout the game, the player will be required to make various decisions, some with far-reaching consequences. Every choice they make will change the future of the civilization and affect the ending of the game. However, with past experience comes new knowledge: even when interactions may seem familiar, new choices may emerge, based on what has become of the world.
Explore a world long since fallen into disrepair, and discover how your own path twines with the remnants of a forgotten time. Piece together the events that led to their fall, and decide for yourself: are their dreams worth pursuing?
Delve deeper into the secrets of the Lamplighter Order and the mysterious figure guiding you each time you are reborn. Use the knowledge of the past to your advantage as you break the loop and uncover the truth.
As one of the last living beings in a world of shadows, the fate of this world is in your hands. Your choices will shape the future, for better or worse - will you bring the light, or leave it all in darkness?
