~33 turns4 endings

The premise

You are Theo Marsh, a junior engineer who won an internal lottery no one remembers entering: seven days on Skerry Vore, a lighthouse island hours from any coast, with Elias Vann — the recluse who built the world's search engine and then vanished from it. The wind never stops. The housekeeper never speaks. And your host has a job for you that begins only after the NDA is signed.

Four endings to reach — where the thread leads is yours to decide.

The rotor noise thins to a heartbeat, and then the wind takes even that. You stand on the helipad with your bag against your knees and watch the helicopter shrink toward a horizon with nothing on it — no boats, no coastline, only the gray Atlantic folding over itself. Behind you the lighthouse climbs out of the rock, its lamp already turning though the sun isn't down. Elias Vann waits at the foot of the tower steps with a glass in each hand, hair whipping, grinning like a man greeting a favorite argument. Above him, at the door, a woman in gray holds the heavy iron latch, her face still as paint, her eyes on you. …

The story picks up from here — start a save and it answers to you.
