Lantern Tide
Keep the lighthouse lit: swing the beam across the island, burn the darkness off the Hush and bring the villagers home before dawn.
ABOUT
Lantern Tide (version 1.0.0.1) is a 3D crowd-rescue action game. You are the keeper of a lighthouse in the Saltskär archipelago, and every night the villagers run for your lighthouse yard while the Hush — shadow creatures — try to take them.
Your only tool is the beam. It slows and burns the Hush and makes villagers in the light run faster. A flash frees every Hush in the bright core at once, and each freed Hush sparks and hurts its neighbours, so a good flash into a crowd starts a chain. Nothing is killed: every Hush you free becomes a villager, a dog or a sheep who runs home too.
Story mode, The Long Night, has 30 nights across five islands with up to three stars each and three difficulties. Flares, a fog horn and a prism are added along the way. Endless Night and Daily Watch unlock after Chapter 1, and Two Keepers is co-op for two on one device.
There are 41 achievements (five secret). Progress is saved in your browser, and achievements unlocked while signed in are saved to your TrySomeGames account. The game is in English.

REVIEWS & RATINGS
Editorial review by TrySomeGames — not a player rating
VERDICT: A warm, original action game where saving people is the whole point.
Lantern Tide turns the crowd-shooter idea inside out: the crowd is the people you save, and every Hush you burn away joins them. Timing a flash into a dense group and watching the chain spread is the satisfying core.
The story adds new tools at a steady pace, and the islands change the terrain. Two Keepers works well for two people sharing a screen.
