A Light In The Darkness

This is a cooperative drop-in/drop-out online multiplayer game. You are flame bearers, braving the darkness, carrying letters and escorting travellers through the eternal darkness between the mountains to the south and sea kingdom to the north.
Are you alone? Maybe press Space and wait for somebody before picking up the torch. The game will beep if somebody else joins, so you can keep it in the background while you wait (F2 turns off music). Or give the link to a friend - it'll only take a few minutes to win.
If you really want to, you can play alone. It's a bit hard, though.
Controls:
- Arrow keys: Move
- Move on item: Pick up item
- Ctrl: Drop item
Type text to chat.
Press Return for new line.
Push against stone to dig.
Push against water to make a bridge.
Go north. Ignore sounds in the dark. Don't let the flame die.
