You are a lone, divine entity, the keeper of a forgotten lighthouse at the end of the world. Your purpose is not to guide ships, but to attend to the static of the cosmos. Turn your telescope not to see, but to hear. Find hidden celestial bodies by the sound of their unique heartsongs. Tune their fragile signals, harvesting a single word from each resonance. Finally, with the fragments of stardust you have gathered, compose a final poem for a silent universe.

Gameplay


Your task is twofold. First, scan the heavens with your telescope, guided only by sound. When a star's melody is strongest, press Space to attune to its frequency.

Then, step to your console. Here, you must sculpt its song. Manipulate two rotary knobs to filter the cosmic static, carving away the noise to reveal a pure, clear harmony. When its voice sings true, press Space again to crystallize the melody into a verse. Gather three verses, and compose a final eulogy for the cosmos.

*Try playing multiple times! There's multiple different planets as well as combinations of poems in the game*

The art is amazing, seriously, it's beautiful and the water-color style is perfect, amazing work on that part !

The gameplay was a bit hard to understand and to get the hang on though (turning the knobs was not really smooth for example).

Still had a very great time because you can see that it had loads of work poured into it !
