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.
Destructoid: 7 / 10 by CJ Andriessen
It's always reposeful when a video game can connect me with the experiences of my youth, and The Red Lantern does just that. It can be breathtaking at times, and it can also be pretty banausic, but the Musher's journey to her new home has enough beauty, adventure, and adorable dogs I just don't want to stop petting to make each trip worthwhile.
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.
Checkpoint Gaming: 6 / 10 by David McNamara
Those with a desire for escapism and a healthy amount of patience will find a solid few hours of rewarding narrative here – if you’re after something with a bit more wanderlust and a bit less “dying alone and unloved”, you might want to look elsewhere.
