You are a Lighthouse Keeper for a 2 man lighthouse. A less experienced and young one at that. Your fellow Lighthouse Keeper, the authority there, is a somewhat aging woman named Thomasina Walden. The island is isolated and remote. You 2 are the only ones on it, you arrive on a boat, it's crampt and wooden, requiring an oarman. Which Thomasina has taken the role of while you reach the Lighthouse.
