About the Game

It’s 1807 and you are a lamplighter, responsible for keeping the street lights of London lit.

Lamplighter is a story-driven puzzle game, set amidst the magical early 1800s when gas street lamps began to turn night into day and provoke people's imaginations, hopes, and fears.

Key Features:
  • Unique puzzle mechanic involves creating regions of light and darkness on a grid, where same-colored regions cannot touch. Solve logic puzzles to keep the streets of London lit.
  • Interact with characters along your lamplighting route. As the wielder of a strange and new technology, you have the power to affect people's opinions.
  • Make choices that affect the story's outcome: Will London accept progress or will fear prevail? You'll decide through your dialogue choices and puzzle-solving skills.
