What is it?

A strange island, a silent Tower, and an audience shaped by your choices.

The Lantern of the Laughless Saint is a Morrowind-inspired open-world action RPG from NerveLabs. Shared nightmares draw people to an isolated island, where rumors, quests, strange inhabitants, and a buried light lead toward the Tower.

Most quests can have multiple resolutions. Your treatment of the island’s inhabitants changes the Amphitheater and the shape of the final act. The adventure supports solo play and co-op.
