Lighthouse Keeper is a short psychological indie experience developed and published by Nikita Igorevich Studio that chooses atmosphere and emotional storytelling over traditional gameplay complexity. Rather than building itself around lengthy progression systems or demanding mechanics, the game delivers a focused narrative centered on solitude, routine, and the emotional burden of isolation. It presents itself more like an interactive artistic project than a conventional adventure game, creating an experience designed to leave players thinking long after its brief runtime ends. The story places players into the role of a lighthouse keeper who has spent twenty years trapped within an endless cycle of responsibility. What initially sounds like a simple premise gradually reveals emotional depth as players spend time listening to the protagonist’s thoughts and examining the quiet loneliness that surrounds his existence.

I am not media literate enough to understand this but I think I had fun? 7/10?
It was alright. Easy to get all achievements, if that's what you're interested in. The English voiceover is a little rough, but it kind of adds a bit of charm to the game. If you don't like visual novels, this game isn't going to change your mind, though. There really isn't any gameplay.
this isn't really a game. i only had to click the screen twice in a whole run. so as a game, i have to rate it badly. i didn't expect there to be barely any gameplay at all. hell, it doesn't even have a save or pause or skip button. as an art piece, i think it was really good. i enjoyed the voice acting for the narration. the visuals are obviously stunning. i enjoyed the story that it told. i really liked how the good ending wasn't really good for those involved. i wouldn't call this a game, instead i'd call it a really short film. 2.5/5
It's barely a game, gameplay is almost nothing. Sorry but that's not my cup of tea.
