The Keeper's Handbook

The Tidewatch knowledge base — keep the light burning, survive the night.

❓ FAQ

How long is a run?

85 nights. Survive them all for the Keeper of Tidewatch title, 50 Moon Pearls and a golden lamp.

Can I play alone?

Yes — solo keepers get a shorter knockout window (8 s), and Calm Mode is there if you want a gentler island. But crews revive each other, stack Thunder Choruses, and befriend Mossback faster.

What happens when I log off mid-run?

Your crew's run is saved as a crew: the night, the lamp oil, your forts, chest, upgrades and Finch Isle progress all persist. Continue loads the crew's furthest night. If the light goes out while everyone's away, the run ends for everyone.

I bought something with Robux and started over. Is it gone?

No. Game Passes and purchases are restored every join, and Start over explicitly keeps everything bought with Robux.
