Lantern Clause: Card Mystery

Lantern Clause is a portrait puzzle game built around Rule Card Deduction. Every case hides a rule that connects playing-card ranks, suits, positions, and neighboring evidence. Flip witness cards, spend Lantern Oil, and use the Deduction Ledger to test constraints, expose contradictions, and reconstruct the hidden rule before naming a suspect. Explore a bright paper-lantern town through 24 story cases, daily fixed-rule puzzles, deduction endgames, and limited-flip Cold Files. Follow clues in character conversations, record your assumptions, and add keepsakes to Lantern Square as your understanding of the town grows. Each witness card states a small, specific condition: a rank higher than the marked card, a suit shared with the account on your left, or a location outside the east wing. These statements form a solvable card-logic language. The Ledger lets you compare every assumption with the evidence, so a conclusion can be checked instead of guessed. Rule Card Deduction is the core of every mode. The hidden rule changes how rank, suit, position, and neighboring cards interact, and the correct sequence of investigations matters as much as the final answer.
