KEEP THE LIGHT
survival puzzle / lighthouse maintenance / unidentified presence
A remote lighthouse. An old routine. A beacon that must not die. Keep the station working through hunger, thirst, fog, and the sound of something repeating your name through dead wire.

about
You are alone in an old lighthouse. Daylight is for checking fuel, cleaning the lens, repairing machinery, and counting supplies. Night is for finding out whether the work was enough, or whether the thing below the floor has learned the keeper's route.
The fog thickens after sunset. Hunger and thirst make simple tasks feel heavier. The station records movement in locked rooms. The recordings always stop before the third knock.
