## What is Lantern Prime?

The stars are going dark. Your home sun is next.

Lantern Prime is a single-player space exploration RPG. Captain a survey ship across 230 star systems, land on alien worlds, build your crew and follow the trail of an expedition that vanished sixty years ago.

Start free. One in-app purchase unlocks the full galaxy and story. No ads, no subscriptions, no energy timers.

CHART A VAST GALAXY
Plot a course across a living starmap and fly through star systems in real time. Survey ringed gas giants, jungle worlds, frozen moons and planets made of glass. Skim fuel from giant planets, sell what you discover and prepare for the next jump.

TAKE THE ROVER DOWN
Drive across alien surfaces, mine gold and rare metals and capture strange creatures for science. Crack open ancient vaults, and stumble on odd notes, field guides and a running side story left by the travelers who came before you.

MAKE FIRST CONTACT
Meet eight alien peoples, each with its own voice, customs and temper. Win over the poetic coral-folk of the Vashti, earn the respect of the armored Gorund herds, survive negotiations with the endlessly formal Pell Consensus, and try not to believe everything the cheerful Tibb tell you. Talk, trade, flatter, challenge or simply listen.

COMMAND YOUR SHIP
Upgrade engines, armor, shields, lasers and missiles. Recruit officers from different species, each with their own skills and opinions. Balance fuel, cargo and repairs as you travel farther from home. When raiders close in, light them up, pay for safe passage or spool your jump drive and escape.

FOLLOW THE LONG VIGIL
The Guild calls the fading stars natural. A sixty-year-old recording from the lost ship Long Vigil says otherwise. Follow the cairns its crew left across the galaxy, piece together their final journey and finish what they started.

DECIDE HOW IT ENDS
Recover the three Lattice Keys and reach the far edge of the Reach. Three different endings, and an epilogue shaped by the people you met and the choices you made.
