WARDEN'S LANTERN · PLAYABLE VIGNETTE

Warden's Lantern — demo

Ten puzzles from the first chapter, carved out of the build for the site. Mirrors, splitters, fog, stone. Progress saves in your browser.

LEVEL 1 / 10First Light0 / 1 lit · 0 solved
· Click a mirror (silver bar) to rotate by 45°.
· Click a splitter (cyan cross) to rotate — beam passes through AND emits perpendicular.
· Walls block the beam. Windows catch it. Progress saves in your browser.
HOW TO PLAY
  • Click any mirror (silver bar) to rotate it by 45°
  • Click a splitter (cyan cross) to rotate — beam passes through AND emits perpendicular
  • The lamp emits a steady beam in one direction
  • Walls block the beam; windows catch it
  • All windows must be lit to clear the level — then the next one unlocks
  • Progress persists in localStorage; 'erase progress' resets everything

This is a tiny public slice of the game — one mechanic, shaved down. The full build has more of everything. Sign up for the newsletter on the about page for release news.
