Lantern of Worlds

About this game

Lantern of Worlds is a computer game based on European and Arabian mythology and fairytales. It is inspired by older games like the Quest for Glory series, Eye of the Beholder and Lands of Lore.


In Lantern of Worlds you are one of the royal adventurers of king Valdemar of Idunia. You are send on a diplomatic mission to the courts of Sultan Mehmet the Magnificent.
On your way there, however, dark forces plot your undoing, and you are left in the middle of the ocean, in a small lifeboat, with nothing but your wits and your determination to survive.

Luckily, you spot an island in the distance...a desert island, where many adventures await you!

But during during your adventures, you will find that great events have been set in motion, and that you have a grand role to play in the undoing, or salvation, of the kingdom of Idunia, and indeed, the world!


6 different voice-actors!
Various random locations & encounters!
More than 40 different stories!


Lantern of Worlds is the first of what will be a series of games, each based on a different world mythology. Start on an epic journey that will take you to faraway lands, enchanted islands, castles in the clouds, and places of such beauty and wonder that defy imagining!

Who knows where you will end up, and what great adventures will await you!

  Lantern of Worlds will be free to play.

  Hello! Lantern of Worlds will be going free to play soon. The game is getting a bit old, and is not really representative anymore of the quality I would like to see in my games. Also, there have been reported some technical difficulties, thought the game seems to run fine for most. Anyway, I would not feel right about charging for the game anymore, so I have decided to make it free to play. It is still a game dear to me, and I would not like to remove it entirely. My thanks to anyone who bought the game! And there will be more games coming in the future! Best regards, Fabian Schurgers
