A slow, atmospheric walking simulator that blends mundane lighthouse-keeping chores with an unraveling sense of dread and mystery.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and early game, but many say the final act turns into an overly dark, clunky shooter section that is frustrating rather than scary. Some compare it to Firewatch and note bugs, while a few enjoy the mystery and twist ending.
