Lantern Hollow: how to get unstuck without spoiling it

Lantern Hollow is designed to be fair, but two chapters catch almost everyone. The good news is you're usually stuck because you missed a detail, not because the puzzle is unreasonable.

My rule for this game: when stuck, stop clicking and start looking. Half the solutions are hidden in the background art or in a sound you're meant to notice. I solved the clocktower section only after I stopped tapping and actually listened.

If you're truly stuck, idle for a minute and the game's own hint system warms up. It never solves the puzzle for you, it just points at the area, which is exactly the right amount of help.

Try not to rush it. This is a game about atmosphere, and half the joy is letting the quiet mystery unfold at its own pace.
