About this game Read the full description

When the world drowned, only the light remained

After a cataclysm that swallowed continents and erased civilization, a handful of survivors discover a solitary lighthouse standing above the endless ocean. Around its glow, humanity makes its last stand.

You are their leader, the one who must rebuild, protect, and guide the final city of humankind.

The Lighthouse: The Heart of Survival

Your lighthouse is more than a beacon. It’s life itself.

 🔹 Keep the Flame Alive – Generate power, gather fuel, and manage what little remains of the old world. If the light dies, people vanish into the darkness.

🔹 A Beacon for the Lost – The light draws drifters from across the sea. Each new survivor brings labor, stories, and hope, but also new mouths to feed.

🔹 Guard the Light, Fear the Depths – The ocean hides ancient secrets and unknown dangers waiting beyond the beam’s reach.

Survive the Unforgiving Ocean

⚫ The Darkness – The lighthouse must never fail, or you risk losing people to an unseen force that lurks beyond the light.
🌊 Unforgiving Weather – Face devastating storms that tear apart your structures and dead calms that starve your city of resources.
🎣 Resource Scarcity – Manage food, energy, and morale as supplies dwindle and the sea grows more hostile.

 ⚖ Choices That Shape Humanity – Decide who to save, who to sacrifice, and what kind of world is worth rebuilding.

Key Features

🏗 Radial City-Building – Expand your city outward from the lighthouse, constructing and optimizing structures in a dynamic, ever-growing settlement.
⚖ Moral Dilemmas – Survivors will come to you with desperate requests. Deny too many, and your rule will collapse. How far will you go to maintain order?
⏳ Constant Tension – Keep the lighthouse running, manage limited resources, and adapt to the ever-changing oceanic environment—your survival depends on it.

The sea remembers.
The light flickers.
And somewhere in the deep, something stirs.

Will you lead humanity’s last city or watch it drown beneath the waves?
