FAQ
Answers use only sourced facts; unverified items are marked.
- What is The Lantern of the Laughless Saint?
- It is an open-world fantasy RPG from NerveLabs, described as a solo or co-op RPG inspired by Morrowind. You awaken on an isolated island crowned by a silent Tower, explore it by following rumours and dialogue rather than waypoints, and resolve most quests in more than one way.
- When did it release and what does it cost?
- It entered Steam Early Access on August 17, 2026, priced at $17.99 during a promotion from a $19.99 list price, on Windows. The developer plans to stay in Early Access for under a year with updates roughly every one to two weeks.
- Does it support co-op?
- Yes. The developer says the entire game is fully playable in co-op, and Steam lists Multi-player, Co-op, Online Co-op, Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Shared/Split Screen, Remote Play Together and Family Sharing. A network connection is required for multiplayer. Maximum party size is not officially confirmed.
- Is there a fast travel system?
- Not in the map-click sense. The documented travel tools are the Anchor and Recall spell pair, coastal swimming on routes that are safer than the inland path, passively improving Sprinting, and teleporting to a co-op teammate by clicking their map marker, which only exists in multiplayer.
