A downloadable game for Windows

You are a lighthouse keeper on the rugged Atlantic coast, and it's your job to guide ships safely home. Sharp rocks are scattered around the bay, waiting for any vessel that strays too close. The boats are blind at night, sailing straight toward their docks with no awareness of the danger around them. 

They can't see the rocks—they can only see you. Your light is their warning.

Safe Harbor

You control three lighthouses along the bay, pivoting between them with Q and E

Hold Left Mouse Button to turn a lighthouse's light on. When the light is on, boats will move away from it.

Release Left Mouse Button, and the light goes dark.  

By switching between lighthouses and timing your signals, you guide each vessel safely past the rocks and into its designated dock.

Every boat has a specific dock it needs to reach and will sail straight toward it, completely oblivious to the danger. Your light is the only thing that can alter its course.

The Long Night

Lose even one ship, and you've failed in your duty. The night is long, the waters are rough, and the lives of sailors depend on the steady glow of your lamp. When sunrise breaks over the horizon, your watch is complete.
