What players say

Players call it Lovecraftian Papers Please with Dredge vibes: you maintain a lighthouse, make moral choices, and chat with odd visitors. They praise the atmosphere and art but find the gameplay loop repetitive after day five, the campaign overly long, and the endings unsatisfying or bugged. Many draw comparisons to No I Am Not Human.
