Coastal tower defence · Early concept

Lanternwatch

Keep the lights burning. Keep the tide at bay.

Early concept · Target platforms: iOS · Android · PC

On a coast that never sees daylight, lantern keepers guard the causeways against things brought in by the tide. Light reveals the threat; towers and engines hold the line.

Lanternwatch is a tower-defence concept built around illumination as well as damage. The design explores upgrade choices between waves, so the same stretch of coast can demand a different plan each time.

This project is at the concept stage. The artwork shows the intended mood and world, rather than gameplay. Modes, platforms and release details are subject to development.

An early gameplay vision: reveal threats with lantern light, cover the causeways and choose where the next tower upgrade will matter most.
