Lonely Anchor
Lonely Anchor is an independent, one-person game development studio based in Cardiff, Wales.Founded by Max Blackman, the studio grew out of a lifelong passion for gaming; not just playing them, but understanding out how they work, how they make you feel, and how small systems can create meaningful experiences. After years of ideas and experimentation, Max made the decision to turn that curiosity into practice and begin developing games full-time.Lonely Anchor’s debut project, Fathom’s End, is a lighthouse keeper simulation focused on atmosphere, routine, and responsibility. Drawing inspiration from solitary work, maritime history, and slower, systems-driven gameplay, the studio aims to create immersive experiences where quiet moments matter as much as dramatic ones.As a solo developer, every part of the process, from design and programming to audio direction and writing, is handled with care and intent, allowing each project to remain personal, deliberate, and closely shaped by player feedback.
