The central idea
Lighting one lantern would reveal the next choice of path. A map would record visited clearings so the player could explore without having to remember every junction.
A small game works best when its first choice makes sense without a long explanation. This concept begins with a single interaction and a visible consequence. Additional rules would only belong if they make that interaction more interesting.
What needs to feel right
Darkness should create atmosphere, not conceal essential information. Path edges and usable objects need enough contrast to remain visible on an ordinary phone screen.
Before an idea becomes playable, it needs comfortable pointer and keyboard controls, a useful pause state and a clear result. The artwork on this page establishes the mood, while those interaction questions remain part of development.
