About the Game

IN THIS DARK AND GLOOMY WORLD WE MUST FORGE OUR OWN LIGHT...

The world has been plunged into eternal night, blanketed in darkness by eerie creatures that feed on light. Things seem bleak for those that still survive, but hope is not lost. A gifted few are able to manipulate a unique form of matter into a new source of light; they are known as the Lightsmiths.




You are one of the rare individuals able to craft with light, and it’s up to you to keep your settlement running. Gather your materials, craft light sources in your forge, and help your fellow villagers survive. Slowly grow your settlement into a self-sustaining village that welcomes newcomers and stands as a beacon of hope in this dark and gloomy world, keeping the creatures of darkness at bay.

And whatever you do, don’t let the light go out.
