The gallery of a lighthouse on a small island, a little before midnight on 11 October. A hazy night with no moon, and the thrushes are crossing the sea in their thousands: redwings, song thrushes, blackbirds. On nights like this they are drawn to the light. You can't see them in the dark. You hear them calling all round, thin and high, and you see them only where the two beams of the turning lens pass through them: sparks in the shaft for a moment, then the beam moves on and they are gone again. A flash comes round every fifteen seconds. A few have come down to rest on the gallery rail, and there is a woodcock on the floor by the door. Walk right up to them and they go. The lantern door is open; you can go in and walk round the lens. The keeper has gone down for tea and left a notebook and binoculars on the bench. The island, the lighthouse and the coast across the water are invented. Birds really do gather in lighthouse beams on hazy autumn nights, and keepers used to write down what they saw. Nothing happens on a clock; the night just goes on. Controls: WASD or the arrow keys to walk, mouse to look (click once first). B raises or lowers the keeper's binoculars. E by the bench reads the notebook (E again, or walk, to put it down). Esc to leave. All the sounds (wind, sea, the clockwork that turns the lens, the birds' calls) are synthesised by an AI that can't hear them, so they may not be quite right. Headphones help.
