The Lighthouse At The Edge Of The Universe

Thanks for the Community Outreach! Such a lovely game. Can't wait to play it. I love the paper lighthouse idea. My husband and I just completed our own lighthouses today. It's beautiful in the dark. Thank you for creating this game.

MY REVIEW: This was one of my very first solo rpg journaling games I started with, and I believe it is probably one of the best out there if not the best. It's mechanics are minimal enough to make for a meditative and relaxing game play, but with just enough variety for it never to become boring. It kind of blew my mind regarding the potency of a solo rpg games. The foundation of Lighthouse is in its connection between the type of weather chosen at the beginning of each round and the player's emotional state. The whole game play unfolds intuitively from out of that, and I was amazed at how connected the story became to my internal state. The stories surrounding the upkeep and observation at the Lighthouse becomes the means by which one can shine a light into the more subconscious depths of one's mind and soul. It is not just a game, but a means of contemplation and self-expression. It opened up a whole new realm of possibility for me as an artist and storyteller, and delighted me with its creative potential! I love it so much and highly recommend for beginners who are new to solo rpgs! 

Claiming a community copy, thanks! This will be one of my very first entry points into solo RPGs :)

This is a stunning game, very whimsical feeling. For a week or so I dedicated a small amount of time each night to write in my journal, and using the real date to give the experience of "real time," playing. I loved it. It's one that I can see myself picking up time and time again, and recommending to anyone who is interested!

EEee! I’m so excited for the added deluxe elements! Thank you for adding more flavor and ideas to the game 🦋✨

Are there any plans to offer community copies again? I'd love to look it over. Thank you.

This is the first solo TTRPG game I've ever played, and the one I've played the most so far! It reignited my love of writing and helped me feel creative again. Plus, my lightkeeper is having all sorts of cozy space adventures; I always look forward to finding out what will happen during my next session :)

Thank you for making this game! I post most of my sessions on tumblr if you'd like to read :)

I bought the zine of this game a few weeks ago. I am completely charmed. So far, I have sent a magical paper airplane flying through space to send a message to a friend, seen a floating city, and found a mysterious dagger. I have yet to go beachcombing (in! space!) but I am really excited to try. I'm enjoying the slow nature of the game too, because then it means I can play multiple solo journaling games at a time :P (the fox curio game is waiting for me on my shelf too!)

anyway, this game is chill and delightful. I defs recommend it.

hi! i'm completely enchanted by all your work. thanks to the community copy, i was able to access the floating bookshop and i'm reading it little by little, but i'm sure it will become one of my favorite universes. i remembered when i was a child and i used to draw cities, create characters and spend hours telling their stories. in difficult times, imagination and creativity are vital forces for our survival. and thanks to your creations i feel i'm recovering some of the energy lost with the weight of growing up and adulthood. i ended up buying the spirit library and the afternoon train home, soon i'll get heist! and i really wanted to buy the lighthouse, but i don't think i'll be able to ): i don't know if you could once again make copies of the communities available, but i'd really appreciate it if you did

hello! would it be possible to add a few more community copies?

Hello seeing this Zine now. As money is tight right now i was just seeing if you are able to put more community copies out! Would love to check it out! 

I would love to help you translate this title to Spanish to share with some friends. How could we do it?

Discovered solo TTRPGs from a tiktok about The Last Vampire and fell deep into the rabbit hole. Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe has been very enjoyable for the two sessions I have completed so far. Gameplay and prompts are easy enough to follow and interpret however you like. Love that I can play even with limited time on my hands. I'm sure in time it will be nice to look back and reflect on how the lighthouse and I have grown.

This is a wonderful solo TTRPG! I really enjoyed all the narrative possibilities of being a lighthouse keeper in a science fantasy setting with sky whales and aliens, as well as going "spacecombing" on the shore of the universe. Ella has done a fantastic job with this game! You can read my full thoughts on my blog.

I love this journal solo rpg!

I have a lot of trouble falling asleep, and staying asleep. Thus it wasn't at all long before I got to start playing the main game and mini game. I have to say, tending to the lighthouse at the end of the universe is relaxing even with unsettling storms, and interesting even on calm nights. A lot of flexibility and thought is in the prompts, and I liked having different stages of play that used the cards and d6 a bit differently. And the setting makes highly fantastical story directions quite natural. 

I'm very happy with this game as a night ritual/routine, and something to do when my sleep is inevitably interrupted.

I have thus far found a kitten (space kitten?), had the gravity turn off and sprained my ankle, managed to caulk up a crack in the tower wall, and now the kitten is purring next to my ankle trying to heal it. As this is a space cat, I think it'll manage it and I'll be better in a couple nights.

Thank you for this lovely game.

Holy moley, this is two games in one plus a papercraft constructible! With the first game being a quiet immersive day by day journaler, and the second an Alone hack? I will be back after some days of play to review, but I am impressed with the content and the design.
