The Lightkeeper Is Gone
Steam
Working on a lighthouse far away from civilization is a demanding job that takes a resilient spirit and iron discipline. The L—— Isle has only seen two keepers to date—and while the first managed well enough, the recent hire has turned out to be more of a nuisance. Their departure has left the light dark; someone must take their place. Will you?

You're given an explanation, but it seems underwhelming. Seek out clues, but be careful—not everything is as it seems.

You've taken on a grave responsibility, and failing your duties will have consequences. The light must be started every evening—and make sure the lens stays clean!
Such a life is not for everyone, but you don't need anyone except for yourself. You will be given a lot of time to reflect upon your actions here.
