Released 2026-10-31. 3 updates since release, the newest 2026-10-31.
Newest update: Keeping Track (2026-10-31)
- A Progress list beside the story shows the rooms you've visited, the bell pieces you've found, and whether the bell is assembled or rung.
- The view description now plays once when you first enter a room, and again whenever you press Look, so moving back and forth stays quiet.
Earlier update: Lamplight at the Cottage (2026-10-31)
- A stone cottage at dusk now stands behind the story, with its greenhouse, lavender garden, iron gate and lantern-lit lane.
- The view moves to each room as you travel: cellar, kitchen, study, greenhouse and garden.
- Ring the bell and a far lantern lights down the lane, with the bell hung on its post.
- The bell cup now hums softly in your hand.
- On phones, the joystick no longer covers the story panel.

The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @charlijo/the-keeper-s-cottage; where, players and leave read and end it.
