Pilot a tiny airship across a sky of scattered islands, where old lighthouses keep the darkness at bay. Scavenge parts, restore each beacon, and chart your next route before the clouds close in. Every voyage brings new islands to explore and new upgrades for your flying home.
Japanese version
闇を払う灯台の光を頼りに、小さな飛行船で空に浮かぶ島々へ。部品を集めて灯台をよみがえらせ、雲に閉ざされる前に次の航路を切り開こう。旅するたびに未知の島を探索し、空のわが家を少しずつ強化していこう。Hi, I’m Kohey.
You can call me Nishikun.
I run JapanOps from Japan. AI helps with research and drafts; I check the meaning and final Japanese before delivery.
