Your private words

Words you type into a prayer note or Prayer Room reflection stay in your browser page. The game does not send those words to the chapel server or share them with other visitors. Closing the note, leaving the room, or leaving the page clears its text field. We do not offer voice recording in this version.

These text fields are not an encrypted message service. Avoid entering information you would not want someone with access to your device or browser to see while the page is open.

What the chapel uses to work

The game gives your browser a random visitor identifier in a necessary cookie called stilllight_visitor. The cookie is marked HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax and can remain for up to one day. It lets the server recognize your current visit without asking for an account, name, or email address.

While you visit, the server stores temporary session data needed for the shared scene: entry and last activity times, whether you are waiting or admitted, your selected seat or room, character position and direction, whether you are praying and which of the four prayer categories you chose, greeting activity, and which candle you lit. The game derives a temporary nickname from a separate public visitor identifier and shows it above your character to nearby visitors. They can also see your movement, occupied place, prayer effects, greetings, and recent candle lighting. They do not receive your private writing or your session cookie.

A candle you light is linked to your temporary visitor session so it can go out when you leave. The chapel also stores its current capacity tier so it can make room when visitor demand rises; this tier is not a personal profile. We keep daily totals for entries, waiting, seating, prayer categories, candles, rooms, and completed visit lengths, plus peak occupancy. These totals are not linked to visitor identifiers and never contain your written words.

On your device

If you sit down, the game saves the date of your first seated visit in your browser's local storage to display your commemorative Stilllight Cross. It also writes a local timestamp when audio is stopped so open tabs can stop playing together. These values are not uploaded as part of the chapel presence API. You can remove them by clearing this site's browser storage.

How long data remains

When the page closes, the game attempts to tell the server you have left and to remove your temporary visitor and candle records. If that signal does not arrive, inactive visitor records and their candles are removed during a later presence update after 40 seconds of inactivity. The cookie may remain in your browser for up to one day, and the local keepsake date remains until you clear this site's browser storage. Technical request data may also be handled by the web-hosting infrastructure used to deliver the site.

Your choices and questions

You can visit without writing a prayer, turn the optional ambient music off, and clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser settings. To ask about access to or deletion of information associated with a visit, or to report a privacy concern, email support@xwarttech.com. Please do not include the private words you wrote in the chapel unless you choose to share them with us in your email.

We may update this notice when the game changes. The date above shows the latest version.
