In the upcoming psychological horror game The Lightkeeper, developer and publisher DarkPhobia Games invites you to step into the shoes of Arthur, a World War I veteran attempting to find peace from his past. Set in the gloomy, fog-shrouded 1920s era, this game promises a chilling experience that merges atmospheric storytelling with unique gameplay. The game will be released on PC via Steam.
Arthur arrives on a secluded island, tasked with maintaining the lighthouse all alone due to a shortage of workers. At first, the job seems simple: light the beacon, secure the oil supplies, and endure the solitude. But as the days pass, the island slowly reveals its secrets. The mysterious deaths of previous keepers begin to come to light, and Arthur’s fragile mental state starts to unravel in the face of an increasingly strange reality.
The game offers multiple endings, with three final choices that will shape Arthur’s destiny in different ways. These choices aren’t just a superficial addition; they are deeply connected to the emotional weight of the story, forcing you to confront Arthur’s inner demons and the island’s dark truths. DarkPhobia Games draws inspiration from real-life events, all to add a layer of authenticity to the horror that makes every creak of the lighthouse and every shadow on the island feel real.
