About the game
You keep the lamp in a storm-battered lighthouse on the Detroit River in the autumn of 1926. Freighters, skiffs, police launches and rum-runners cross the black water, and rocks, sandbars and old wrecks hide in the dark.
Boats can only steer around what your light shows them. Burn bright to reach the far shore at the cost of oil, sound the foghorn to slow the traffic, and catch a rum-runner in your beam while a police launch is on the river. Every night brings more boats, thicker fog, heavier rain and more lightning.
