This lighthouse survival game will test your base-building skills with tsunamis

For beacons meant to ward off disaster, lighthouses in fiction typically aren’t places you want to end up. Whether we’re talking about movies like 2019’s The Lighthouse or 2018’s Annihilation, the entrance to the nightmarish city of Rapture in BioShock, or the place you’re ambushed by gunships in Half-Life 2, bad stuff tends to go down whenever you head to a stone tower with a bright, hopeful light at the top.

The lighthouse in base-building survival management game Diluvian Winds is no different. Sure, it looks cozy and it’s filled with adorable anthropomorphic animals like beavers, bears, otters, and mice, but it’s still in constant peril. As the lighthouse keeper (you’re also a walrus) you need to manage a small crew of animal inhabitants, putting them to work procuring food, gathering resources, building structures, and making repairs.
