How to play Lantern Rite Paper Shadows A-Foraging

Paper Shadows A-Foraging presents players with a top-down puzzle where the objective is to guide either Guoba or Yuegui to a specific target. The target item varies from level to level, ranging from Fowl to Matsutake mushrooms in the initial stages.

The twist lies in the limited number of steps available to Guoba or Yuegui. These steps strictly measure the distance they can travel, allowing for strategic backtracking to reclaim steps. Additionally, environmental changes, such as moving crates, remain permanent throughout the puzzle.
