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
This journal game means so much to me! Thank you so much for creating it. I’ve been journaling with it for the past year any time I need to decompress a little, and I legitimately feel like it’s helped me in ways even talk therapy hasn’t. I’m so grateful to have discovered it and I’m so glad it exists!
Hey, I claimed one of the community copies. Wish I had the money to support. I just played my first session and thought it was really cool. The vibes are impeccable, and I can't get enough. This game may just become part of my nightly routine. Thank you so much for making this really chill game!
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!
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.

During an interview with a zine's author the name of your game poped up and I start to be interested. Is it possible to speak via mail for a possible collaboration, or an interview and an articcle on our site? Let me know if you are interested.
Got this through the Kickstarter. I have really enjoyed the game. It has a high number of unique variables achieved with a deck of cards, a coin, and a die. It makes for lot of playability. The secondary game so much fun, it fits seamlessly into the overall feel of the game and I just combined them together to enhance both games. The one not great thing is the high number of obvious grammar issues. The credits state that there was an official editor hired for this piece and that's alarming considering the number of errors. The grammar is annoying but not distracting to the overall game. Great game! 7/10.
Thanks for your review! Yes, the grammar errors were all my fault, the editor did a flawless job at editing the game but I went in and changed some things after and did not proof read properly. I have fixed some mistakes, if there are any left please let me know and I'll fix them!
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.
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.

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

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

Thank you for sharing! This has absolutely made my day, I'm so glad my little game has had such an impact on you ❤️

As a budding designer with a tight budget I'd LOVE to get my hands on a Community Copy to study! Any chance for more in the near future?
Didn't realise they were all gone! I've added some more copies :)
Yey! Thank you!!
I would love to help you translate this title to Spanish to share with some friends. How could we do it?
I'll add some now :)
