Lantern Hollow: A Spoiler-Light Guide to Getting Unstuck
Lantern Hollow is rarely hard, but there are a couple of moments where the game expects you to notice something easy to miss. This is a nudge, not a full solution, because half the joy is spotting it yourself.
The canal bridge puzzle: the answer is in the reflections, not the lamps themselves. Stand still and watch the water for a moment before you start tapping things.
The clocktower is the other sticking point. The order you light the lamps matters, and the clue is painted on the floor of the room below, which is very easy to walk past.
Beyond those two, just explore and talk to everyone. Residents drop hints that unlock later areas, and the game never locks you out of progress.
Take your time with it. This isn't a game to rush, and the ending lands harder if you've let the mood soak in.
