The Lantern of the Laughless Saint launched on Steam early access for Windows on August 17. NerveLabs built it as an open-world RPG inspired by The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, with exploration as the core loop: players walk an island dotted with towers, follow rumors, and solve most quests through multiple paths.
Online cooperative multiplayer is included, letting two players run the entire game together. The current build is fully playable in single and multiplayer, with a main quest that takes 30 to 40 hours to clear. The early access period is planned to last less than a year, with updates every one to two weeks. Full release will add enemies, areas, equipment, and quests, and the price may rise.
As of August 18, 88% of 297 Steam reviews recommend the game, putting it at Very Positive. Reviewers praise the exploratory freedom, while a notable share point out bugs, some treating those as a familiar Elder Scrolls-style quirk.
