Lantern started off as a 7-day FPS game that went horribly awry; turns out it was a ton of fun to work on and had a lot of potential, so here I am, making a semi-full game out of it!
My goal with Lantern was to make a multiplayer shooter that wasn't based on twitch reflexes or aim alone, but also based on cleverness, stealth and, to an certain point, paranoia. The game takes place in a dark, abandoned house, with nothing to provide you light or navigation besides a few lanterns and windows. Clutter and trash lay strewn about, providing you cover to hide behind or obstacles to your path.
You play as a lowly murderer, who took refuge from the police in the house - not knowing that several other murderers had the same idea! Equipped with only a gun and a flashlight, you must survive by eliminating the other murderers before they find you and do the same.

So yea, that's Lantern! I hope to finish it up soon; I've been busy with contract work and other larger projects. However, the game is 90% content complete, with some bug-fixing and tweaking left, but I should be able to finish all that in a month, being generous :)
