The Lantern Keeper

A lantern’s glow is all that stands between the living and the lingering souls. In this lighthearted yet melancholic scenario, you take on the role of a humble Lantern Keeper who discovers a ghost named Keiko bound to the quiet riverside village of Mizunomori. The story unfolds in a world of rice fields, cedar forests, and mossy shrines where the veil between life and the spirit realm is thin. Through encounters with villagers, apparitions, and forgotten places, you must help Keiko uncover the ties holding her back and guide her toward crossing into the other side. Gentle, atmospheric, and rooted in everyday life, the tale explores themes of memory, compassion, and the quiet magic of ordinary places. --- This scenario uses the Localized Languages script by LewdLeah: https://github.com/LewdLeah/Localized-Languages1
