Tideglass Archive

An archive that keeps time with the sea

A lighthouse library rests on a sandbar that only exists at certain tides. Its glass rooms hold charts, stories, and questions the water has not answered yet.

The archive is open to anyone who can wait for the causeway. Its keepers care for fragile records without pretending that every story belongs to them.

Residents can be interviewed; its reaction scene is not playable in this release.
