About Magic Lantern

✦ AI summary

Step into a magical VR playroom with Kate and her enchanted projector to watch beautifully adapted fairy tales like Alice in Wonderland and Little Mowgli while exploring an interactive space filled with toys, drawing tools, and playful activities. This preschool-focused experience combines storytelling that teaches kindness and courage with unlimited creative play—draw without mess, rearrange the entire room, and engage with toys that never break, all designed for young imaginations to flourish safely.

Meet the heroes of The Magic Lantern and immerse yourself in a wonderful fairy-tale world. Kate and her film projector, the Magic Lantern, are waiting for you in the virtual room, ready to whisk you away on a captivating journey. Just choose a story and start the projector!

Our stories are well-known around the world, and have been specially adapted for preschool-aged children. These are tales that have stood the test of time, and they offer important life lessons about being kind, understanding and helpful, having courage, and doing the right thing.

And if you don’t feel like watching a story, there are plenty of other things to do here!

DETAILS:
- Watch beautifully told, uplifting stories, treasured by generations of children: Alice in Wonderland, The War of the Worlds and Little Mowgli.
- Explore the room and rearrange objects any way you like. The size of your actual room won’t limit you. You can play Magic Lantern VR wherever you are.
- Darts, balls, toy cars, blocks, stuffed animals, a globe and pictures appear in the game as interactive objects – toys you can play with but never break or lose.
- Draw on the easel and let your imagination run free – your paint will never dry out, and your clothes won’t get dirty.
- Try controlling a toy cat, directing it using a laser pointer.
- Choose another language in the game setup for a fun way to learn a foreign language.
- Now you have a new playroom, cozy and safe, where children can do almost anything they want and never get hurt.

Home is where the magic begins!

I played this on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controller and the only issue was the button mapping. To select menu items, you do have to press down on the joystick and hit trigger. Otherwise, game plays fine. I picked up this game on the Halloween sale for .99 cents and it's easily worth more than that. I liked it so much that I went ahead and got the DLC (also on sale for .49 cents). This game is a small VR sandbox with a lot of charm. I loved the graphics for this game type and the mini-games were fine (drawing, shooting darts, laser with cat). What sets this game a part from other sandboxes is the Magic Lantern, i.e. projector. You project several short stories on the wall while the little girl narrates them. These stories are shortened version of classics, but they are drawn so well and the narration is very good on all of them. I just had to smile while enjoying these. Sale Price Rating 8/10 Highly recommended for kids or for kids at heart (yeah, even a hardened cynic like me enjoyed it immensely)

Pretty disappointing. Went into it expecting a blast of childhood nostalgia, but what I get instead was a blast of mediocrity.

This is a very sweet little game, it made me feel like a kid again :) There's not exactly much to "do" in it but it's beautifully put-together and very relaxing to sit there and watch a story on the projector, throw objects out the window, or laugh at the cat floating around the room on his roomba.
