About the Game A charming open-world exploration game about rebuilding a community on a mystical archipelago covered in darkness. You explore, gather, craft, and spread your Light to outshine the oncoming cosmic horror. Cast away from an airplane to an archipelago by a mysterious Lighthouse, you play as Karl, a sales rep with a business plane trip cut short. Meet other islanders, become the Lightkeeper, discover hidden treasures, farm and provide food, and restore the local town. As you adventure deeper into the archipelago, you’ll find the mysterious source of the fog that has enshrouded the islands and the entity behind it all. There are no time limits or pressure; play at your own pace and style. Explore an archipelago that draws inspiration from the unbound exploration of A Short Hike and Dredge and the crafting elements of Outpath and Forager. Uncover the mystery of the darkness, tame the woken spirits, and help villagers with their tasks. ⛰ Explore many islands in any way you like. Run, jump, air glide, land surf, climb, swim or sail ⛰ Discover unique locations, quests, and dozens of secrets ⛰ Collect items and exchange them from the Collector for a reward Forage, fish, catch bugs, cut, mine, dig, and farm for all sorts of resources, consumables, materials, or unique items. 🎃 Play a mini-game which boosts resource drops 🎃 Upgrade tools to gather even more and better resources 🎃 Farm crops and feed the village Before the mysterious fog enshrouded the archipelago, a dark storm crushed the islands, leaving destruction in its wake.
