Little Lighthouse of Horror

Could be a good game, but I'll never know, as I couldn't get past the frustrating and seemingly impossible resource management. It's just too hard. It feels like you'll have no chance of finishing this game if you stop or hesitate for even a split second, or don't do everything in exactly the most efficient way possible, and no matter what you're doing, there's the constant stress of 4 bars quickly depleting (all of which result in game over, start again from scratch). It's not challenging, it's just unpleasant. My advice to dev: Add some kind of difficulty options. Even something as simple as having the resource bars drain more slowly on easier settings.

Bugs aside, what kills this game for me is the balancing of resource management. for all the things you need to keep maintained and the fact you can only get fuel and spare parts to fix things once a week, the fact that weather can switch on a dime and the lighthouse system doesn't make sense for how lighthouses actually work. it's just all...off. I just get focused on keeping everything working, I don't have room to be scared.

This game gatekeeps his story behind a needlessly unforgifable survival system, which would be barable if the time would pass 20% slower.

Simple, fun, nice, well made. That's a nice once!

Once you figure out all stats have the same mechanical setup, it becomes a fun game. You don't have to keep everything at max. It's actually fine to neglect some things in favour of others. Then you can have the story take you places and enjoy some great art work and atmosphere. EDIT: Small addition after finishing. Keep in mind, unless you're going achievement hunting or want to see everything this game is rather short.

Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiSbSfPFvJg This is a great little psychological horror experience. Inexpensive, multiple endings based on how you play, and the management /survival aspect alone is a fun little loop.
