Terms of use

Last updated 13 October 2026.

The short version: the first lake is free, one payment opens the rest, and your save stays on your phone.

The agreement

Lantern Lake is a game made by Pikeworks, a sole trader in Northern Ireland. By installing it you agree to these terms. If you do not, please uninstall it.

What you get

Lantern Lake is free to download, and the first lake is free to play for as long as you like. One purchase of £5.99, through Google Play or the App Store, unlocks the full game and the updates to it. It is not a subscription, and there are no adverts. The full game belongs to your store account, so you can restore it after a reinstall or on another phone signed in to the same account. You cannot resell the game, take it apart to pass off as your own, or use it to break the law.

Refunds

Refunds go through the store you bought the full game from, under its own rules: Google Play and the App Store both let you ask for one. If something is wrong with the game, email me first and I will try to put it right.

Your saved game

Your progress is saved on your phone. I do not hold a copy, so I cannot restore a save that is lost when the game is uninstalled or the phone is reset. The full game is kept by your store account, so that part always comes back.

Availability and liability

Lantern Lake is provided as it is and plays offline. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected. Beyond that, and as far as the law allows, Pikeworks is not liable for indirect or consequential loss or for lost progress, and any liability is limited to what you paid for the full game.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and its courts have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom or in the EU, you keep the protections of your own local law.
