Lighthouse Of Better Days

Once upon a time, there was a lighthouse. Like other lighthouses, it warned passing ships of danger. But this was no ordinary lighthouse...

For ships crossing through the stormy straights of despair, the lighthouse beamed the hope of better days ahead.

This game takes about 5-10 minutes to play through and should leave you feeling a little more hopeful than before.
