- A fixed kit, fresh Orla dialogue, and three medals to chase
- Partial warning progress survives a missed echo
- New native postcards: press F2 to save a clean 1440×810 scene

Your first watch
Tower defense,
turned toward rescue.
Send the right signal
Hold the light on each ship. Some captains also need the foghorn before they will turn clear of Brightwatch.
Build a better beacon
Bring ships home to earn Harbour Marks, then fit stronger lenses, faster clockwork, chimes, and storm gear.
A harbour with a story
Choose who keeps the light.
Take the watch as sharp-eyed Mara Vane or retired sea captain Elias Rook. Harbour Master Orla Bell keeps the radio open as the reef shifts and the old stories wake.
"A light is a promise."
