The Story — A Survival RPG Adventure


The Maritime Bureau hired you to fix a lighthouse on an island nobody talks about. The last keeper disappeared forty years ago. Your boat dropped you off. Then it left. It's not coming back.

The island has four biomes — forest, desert, snow, swamp — and each one has a camp of previous keepers who came before you. They're all still here. None of them could leave.

"Everyone's stuck. Nobody's given up.
Except the Bog Witch. She likes it here."

Explore Four Biomes, Fight Four Bosses


Each biome holds a camp of stranded keepers, a boss guarding a lighthouse component, and secrets buried deep.
