Drownlight

The New WorldIn a post-apocalyptic world swallowed by a global flood, humanity clings to survival on the open sea. You are the leader of a floating city, built around a towering lighthouse—the last beacon of hope in the endless ocean.

The Lighthouse: The Heart of Survival

🔹 Guiding the Lost – The lighthouse emits a powerful beam, drawing in survivors drifting across the waters. This is your primary way of expanding your city’s population.
🔹 Keeping the Light Alive – The lighthouse does not generate power on its own—you must build and maintain energy sources to keep its beam shining. Without it, the city is left vulnerable to the unknown.
🔹 Defying the Darkness – At night, the lighthouse wards off the abyss. If the light goes out, people mysteriously disappear. What lurks in the darkness remains unknown, but fear spreads like a disease.

Survival Against the Unknown

⚫ The Darkness – The lighthouse must never fail, or you risk losing people to an unseen force that lurks beyond the light.
🌊 Unforgiving Weather – Face devastating storms that tear apart your structures and dead calms that starve your city of resources.
🎣 Resource Scarcity – Fish, your main food source, may vanish due to ecological shifts, forcing you to manage crises and adapt.

Key Features

🏗 Radial City-Building – Expand your city outward from the lighthouse, constructing and optimizing structures in a dynamic, ever-growing settlement.
⚖ Moral Dilemmas – Survivors will come to you with desperate requests. Deny too many, and your rule will collapse. How far will you go to maintain order?
⏳ Constant Tension – Keep the lighthouse running, manage limited resources, and adapt to the ever-changing oceanic environment—your survival depends on it.

A chilling sense of mystery and unease permeates the game. The ocean is vast, unknowable, and unforgiving. As you expand, the fear of what lies beyond the light grows stronger.

Will your city endure, or will it be swallowed by the abyss?
