A long, broken coast in deep water. Towers scattered across it — some lit, most gone dark. You arrive at one that has gone out. You climb the stair, trim the wick, set the wheel of the lamp, and bring the tower back. Night after night the beam sweeps a sea you can't see across. Keep a light for strangers who may never thank you. Build a home on the rocks. Ready a boat and put out across open water to another dark coast.
Heads up: the images on this page are early concept art and pre-production ideas for the world and mood. They are not actual gameplay footage. The game is still being built.
A small set of honest things to do, and a whole coast to do them on. Each pillar below is a doing — a place your hands go, a scene the world holds you inside while you do it.
Climb the tower at dusk. Trim the wick. Pour the oil. Polish the lens until the beam carries clean. Then sit with the lamp through the long hours and watch the dark sea, listening for what the wind changes. Keep a light for strangers who may never thank you.
Set a hearth where the wind catches it least. Lay a roof that turns the rain. Hang a door that opens onto the path the keeper walks. Add a workshop, a garden, a porch with a hanging lantern. Build a place a tired traveller would knock at.
Ready a boat. Stow the lantern at the stern. Put out from your rocks into fog and swell and open dark. Steer by the far light of another keeper's tower until its beam rises ahead of the prow — and steer back home by your own.
Work a kitchen garden on the headland. Mend nets in a rope-strung workshop. Salvage timber from what the storms throw up. Take a full basket to the jetty, walk away with a tin of lamp oil, an hour's news, and a name you'll see again.
One coast, one sky. Storms roll in and break things; calm follows and you mend them. Snow buries the quay in winter. In high summer paper lanterns rise from the hub and drift past the tower, and the fiddles start by the bonfire after dark.
Set out food a few nights running until a wild thing follows you back along the headland. Strike inland with a lantern and find a hot spring in a sea-cave, a high vantage with the whole zone spread below, a path no one has walked in a long time.
Pre-production sketches of the moments the game wants to hold. Every image below is early concept art, not gameplay. The mechanic each picture suggests is what the team is building toward.
You've now got a sense of the coast, the doings, the world the team is building toward. There's a value question worth asking before any of it is finished: if it were here today, how would you want to support it? Nothing on this page is for sale and nothing here will charge you. The shape of the answer is the thing — it tells us how people would actually choose to back what gets built.
Worlds here aren't sold. This is just listening.
Lighthouse is still being built and the team is listening. Tell us what you'd want to do on the coast, which doings should be in the world, or simply that you want to know when the light goes on. Leave a note and we'll keep you in the loop.
Leave a note and we'll let you know when there's something to play.
A doing you'd want on the coast, a creature, a piece of work the keeper would learn — tell us.
