Games Like Brennan's Light

SEVEN NIGHTS. ONE LIGHT.

On the night of the 14th of November, every light on the coast went out, and the barque Hesper went down with all hands. The Board of Coastal Lights has sent you to Brennan's Isle to relight its lamp and hold it until relieved. The last keeper is gone. His diary is not.

By day, search the island. Salvage oil, planks and parts from the wreckage, repair the broken lamp, patch the tower and build barricades on the paths up the hill. At the workbench, turn parts into a wider lens, a faster crank or a foghorn.

By night, climb to the lamp and take the beam. Ships feel their way through three gates in the reef, and only your light brings them through. Out of the surf come the Drowned, the Hesper's dead, walking home to the tower. They only move in the dark. Hold the light on them and they sink back into the sea.

Every dawn, sign one entry in the Keeper's Log. Each one changes the rest of your run, price and all. From the third dawn, swear an oath: Mercy for the living, or Vigil for the light.

On the seventh night, the Great Fog rolls in. Somewhere in it is the relief boat.
