About this game

You start a correspondence with Ines, the keeper of a remote lighthouse, through an old pen-pal scheme. You choose the paragraphs of each letter from fragments you have collected, and her replies change based on what you share and what you leave out. Over a year of letters, a friendship forms, and a mystery about the previous keeper comes to the surface.

The letters are typeset on textured paper in sea green and ink black, with her sketches in the margins. It takes about 3 hours and is designed to be read slowly. A perfect pick for people who love epistolary novels. The caveat: the letter-building interface can feel restrictive when you want to say something it does not offer.

Highlights
