Moving furniture

I accidentally put my cassette tape in the recycle bin because it's so close together; therefore, can you move the bin somewhere else? Better yet, can we move things around ourselves?

Very poor performance

And no graphics options at all. I have an i9-9900KF system with 32 GB of RAM, Windows 11 64-bit, and a GeForce GTX 2080 Super. With a 21:9 screen at 3440x1440 resolution, I’m getting a maximum of 25 FPS in this game, and that just shouldn’t be the case. I would have expected at least 80 FPS. It’s a shame this game performs so poorly, even though my system far exceeds the developer’s recommended specs. Why can I only change the screen resolution in the graphics options—which only adds a few more F...

Report for Duty, Keeper. Fathom’s End is Out Now

Apr 16

It’s been a long road, and there’s still plenty ahead, but Fathom’s End is now available in Early Access on Steam.

The tutorial and core game loop are fully playable, with all of the main lighthouse systems in place. You can run the station indefinitely, responding to over 30 unique ships, managing supplies, and keeping everything going through changing weather and long nights.

This is just the beginning. The plan is to keep building on what’s here with new features, story content, customisation, progression and more over time, shaped by player feedback as the game evolves.

As with any Early Access release, there will be bugs and rough edges. If you run into anything, or just want to share feedback, you can join the Discord here:

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the project so far. It genuinely means a lot.

Temperature

Hi everyone! I love this game, it's really good. But it is January in the North Atlantic and it has 15°C? I think that should be changed. Best regards!

Early Access Review

I usually don't write reviews on Steam, but Fathom's End deserves an exception. As the game description says, it is a Lighthouse Simulation game. You are the keeper of Fathom's End, which is located 200 miles offshore, and your job is to keep the lighthouse running. Take incoming calls from ships, keep an eye on the lamps, fix problems, make the lighthouse your home. Don't expect any kind of jump scares. This game doesn't have any. Just the routine. And somehow this was, or I should say is, for me more than enough to get hooked since the moment I started testing it. Time honestly flies while playing the game.

I really love the atmosphere of Fathom's End. It's calm without being empty. Lonely without being depressing. Relaxed and chill without being boring. And every now and then it can get pretty demanding. One of the main reasons, besides the sounds in the game like the waves, weather effects and the noises inside the lighthouse from the console and the other items, is the music. It fits the game so well, feels never out of place. It is a part of "Fathom's End" and "belongs" to it.

Another thing I really enjoy about the game are the interactive parts, like opening windows, fishing, cooking, the ability to listen to music and much more. As I mentioned further up, ships are a part of the game. Every single one of them is voiced by a real person - voice actors, friends, people Max (aka the dev) knows. In a time where AI voices are everywhere, that's something I genuinely appreciate.

What makes all of this even more impressive for me is that Fathom's End is a one-man project. It just launched into Early Access, which means there is still a lot more to come. I've been lucky enough to know about and follow it from the beginning of development and I'm really glad it's finally out there for everyone.

If this sounds like your kind of game, I honestly don't think you'll regret giving it a shot.

I at first had my doubts but this is a pretty cool lighthouse keeper game that you can just relax and run your light house, so when you want to take a break from fighting aliens or swashbuckling the seas, this is a great choice

Early Access Review

Really enjoying playing this game. As it says in the description this is a simulator that requires you to spin multiple plates as you navigate your way through night shifts on a remote Lighthouse.

The elements that make up your gameplay are thoroughly thought through, ranging from taking calls of vessels in your shipping lanes, to maintaining the different working elements of a lighthouse in the 80s. There is never a dull moment as the calls keep coming from the ships asking you for information as well as the regular reports you need to send to the mainland. I have never been much of a simulator guy but this has kept me enthralled to a point where my normal streaming schedule has completely gone out of the window to fit in a shift on Fathom!

The soundtrack is simple and beautiful with gorgeous instrumentals that help build the atmosphere of being alone in the Mid-Atlantic. The voice work is brilliant with well over 20 different ships each with their individual captain with their own personality. Top work on sourcing so many top quality voice actors with a project of this size.

Right now, we can only play the base game elements, but the scope for this game (still in early access) is unFATHOMable. There is already more than enough for you to do, with having to not only operate the lighthouse but ration food, order supplies, fish for your supper, cooking and managing power. But, with future narratives and relationships to foster with the different ship captains and future customisable elements to help make your lighthouse a home, it's kind of a no brainer to me.

Great game, I'm absolutely loving it and for the price it's a steal!

Would 100% recommend this game to cozy streamers who like to chat.
Would 100% recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good simulator.

Welcome to Fathom's End

Mar 17

Hello everyone,

I’m Max, the developer behind Fathom’s End. This is my first game, and it’s something I’ve been building from the ground up as a passion project.

Fathom’s End is a first-person lighthouse keeper simulation set on a remote station in the Atlantic. At its core, the game is about managing a collection of interconnected systems. You’ll be maintaining the beacon, monitoring equipment, handling radio traffic, and keeping everything running through long night shifts.

At the same time, it’s also about routine. The quiet repetition of tasks, the rhythm of a shift, and the responsibility of keeping things in order.

Alongside that, there’s a strong focus on creating a cosy, isolated space. Somewhere that feels like your own corner of the world, even if it’s surrounded by nothing but open ocean.

Recently, development has taken a really positive step forward with the addition of two artists to the team. A 3D artist is helping to upgrade and replace many of the in-game assets, while a 2D artist has been working on improving the Steam store visuals and will also be helping to bring consistency to the game’s icons and UI.

There’s still plenty more to come, and I’m excited to share more as we build towards the Early Access release in April.
