i really liked the art, the vibe, the story, and setting are all really good. super impressed by the writing too. i do think i was one of those players that optimized the fun out the game. i got good with managing the lighthouse and was only losing ships when they would crash into each other away from the beacon so some feedback maybe barks to reassure the player that this is supposed to be happening could help. i also didnt get what i needed to do when everything turned evil so i went to read from the bookshelf and wait for the timer to run out. the bug getting stuck at the corner of the stairs ended the game for me dawn of the 4th night so that was unfortunate. all around cool game though and i enjoyed the experience even though it felt like a bit of a waiting game.

I'm glad you liked it... you did the right thing on the 4th night... its pretty much just a climax with some time to catch up on journals... I had fun with all of it but really dug into the lore. Some other things probably suffered on account of that. I may pull this back down from the shelf and expand/polish it a bit more in the future. Thanks for the feedback though, it all helps me get better.
