The Lampkeeper

About this game

You are a Lampkeeper, a creation of pure luminescence, sent to the afterlife to usher back in the light. The Willshaper, a higher power in death, has given you a job: illuminate the lamps along your path to The Gate, the end of all Lampkeepers' journeys.

Through your travels, you will meet departed souls, encounter unfathomable anomalies, and learn what it means to be a Lampkeeper. Explore The Wilderness, navigate The Outskirts, traverse The City, admire The Garden, and brave The Ascent to close out your voyage at The Willshaper's Gate

The Lampkeeper offers a cozy, atmospheric experience with interesting scenery and a relaxing feel. It includes basic puzzle mechanics, a diverse environment to trek through, a branching linear narrative, and an eerie backstory to uncover. 

The Lampkeeper

The afterlife is a dark and dreary place. Ages have passed, leaving the souls trapped here to forget the feeling of light, of warmth. It's up to you to help them remember. Traverse the strange terrain of the afterlife, witness its innumerable oddities, and use your lamp to bring back the light!
