The gate tells the truth: on the Old Bear's floor and the Den Mother's, the lock now shows a paw instead of a count, and "The gate opens" is never said while a boss still stands. Lunge works at last: your strike reaches two hexes down a clear line, and the target lights up. Second wind and Kindling pay on every floor, a boss felled by your thorns falls properly, stunned enemies no longer show attack lines, and the Old Bear's flare really buys you two free strikes. Thank you for the walks that found these.

LANTERNFALL 2.0. The forest, rebuilt. YOUR LANTERN IS THE WEAPON. Shove: raise the lantern and everything beside you backs off a hex and loses its move. Whatever is cornered burns and staggers. THE FOREST CHANGES SHAPE. Boars charge down lines and throw you. Weavers web the way to the gate. Crows drive the pack. Stumps wake under your feet. Archers back away when touched. From floor 3 an old one walks every floor. THE OLD BEAR AND THE DEN MOTHER. Floor 4 is barred until the Old Bear falls. Floor 8 is the den. TWENTY-ONE BOONS, four families, keystones, pairs, one reroll at any gate, and every finished walk teaches the next one. THE CAMP sells five ways to carry the lantern. DEEPER NIGHTS open after a walk-out. On the Daily, one missed night a week is forgiven and a weekly ladder sits beside the nightly board. An optional evening reminder, off by default. And the clearing itself: one warm light with real falloff, pines around the board, shadows under every creature, enemies that lean into the attack they announce.

A clearer front door: new screenshots that say what the game is, and a few small fixes.

After five descents, the forest edge asks once whether Lanternfall is worth a rating. Rate opens the App Store; the X puts it away. Nothing else changes.

THE CHRONICLE. Every descent is written down as it happens and becomes a page when it ends: the wolves you outstepped, the arrow you did not see, the gate that let you go. Read every walk from the title screen and share any page. THE DAILY, AS A CALENDAR. One shared forest a night, the same for everyone. Now a month you fill in, with a streak that counts nights in a row. Free for everyone. Also: stripes on threatened hexes for color-blind players (Settings), and the page of the run you just finished waits on the end screen.

A new icon, drawn for the Home Screen in light and dark. The locked daily-history button now says what it unlocks.
