Dreams of Whalefall

In Dreams of Whalefall, a ship’s doctor assumes the role of a lighthouse keeper after participating in a failed mutiny. As you care for the lighthouse and attempt to avoid the suspicion of the naval authorities over three in-game days, you grapple with the losses of the past and, perhaps, find renewed hope for the future.
