A slow, methodical crafting-survival game set in a perpetually dark world where you forge light sources to protect a settlement and explore cautiously.

What players say
Players praise the tension from a light meter that shrinks, making the day cycle feel urgent without being arbitrary. The game has no combat, instead relying on trial-and-error exploration and town rebuilding. Reviews consistently note frequent updates and a responsive developer team.
