The Last Lighthouse is a quiet, text-based idle game you can play right here — no download, no sign-up.
It begins with almost nothing: a cold room, a dark sea, and a lamp about to go out. There is one thing you can do. Do it, and the next thing appears.
Keep the light burning
The flame fades on its own, so it needs tending — and fuel. Driftwood washes up on the beach below. When the beam is bright enough, people lost in the fog begin to find their way to the shore, and each of them can help: gathering wood, fishing, pressing oil, or keeping the lamp lit through the night.
Build a small world
Huts give newcomers somewhere to sleep. A workshop, an oil press, a smithy and a fog horn each open up something new. Keep an eye on the fish stores: hungry people do not stay.
Walk into the fog
With a lantern, someone can set out for the wreck on the reef, the rock where a bell rings at midnight, a beach that glitters in the dark. They come back with iron, glass — and, sometimes, a page torn from an old logbook. The keeper who was here before you left more than a lamp behind.
A story with an ending
The Last Lighthouse is a complete mystery with a beginning, a middle and an end, usually an hour or two of play spread over as many sessions as you like. When you reach the end, you can light another lighthouse and start again with a little help from the first.
