An action adventure game in which we control sled dogs travelling in Alaska and trying to get home. The production was developed by an independent developer Timberline Studio.
Red Lantern is an action adventure game with elements of roguelike, which puts a lot of emphasis on narrative. In this production, the player controls a woman who wanders through the cold Alaska, trying to reach her home. During the journey we are accompanied by a team of dogs. During the game, players have to deal with a number of unique challenges and make various decisions, including hunting. Developers from Timberline Studio are responsible for creating this title. Red Lantern is their debut project, but they gained their experience working on the episodic adventure game King's Quest (as part of another company).

Game Ratings for The Red Lantern Video Game.
PC Invasion: 4.5 / 10 by Andrew Farrell
It has the occasional nice moment, but I got sick of it a while before beating it. Furthermore, it can be beaten in under three hours, so that's really saying something.

The Red Lantern has the certain indie game charm one may expect. Timberline Studio Inc. makes a decent first effort with a simple premise, good 'choose your own adventure' structure, and a cast of diverse dogs for your crew of five with a beautiful day and night cycle to top it off. Unfortunately, the title suffers from some dialogue and choice repetition and a few bugs or animations that could use some improvement.
GamingTrend: 70 / 100 by David Burdette
The Red Lantern is a great experience. I love my dog sled team and playing the runs again and again only reinforced that. But I'm not sure the roguelite style stays fresh all the way through, and it can get a bit tiring and repetitive. In the end, The Red Lantern is not going to win a lot of awards for what it does and is, but it's a unique take on the walking simulator genre that honestly has gotten stale and oversaturated.
