About The Hollow Lighthouse
The Hollow Lighthouse is a story-driven survival horror game that drops you on a remote, forgotten island off the Romanian coast. You’re an electrician sent to fix the lighthouse—but soon realize the light is the only thing keeping you safe.Wander through thick pine forests, climb eerie cliffs, and explore abandoned buildings scattered across the island. Strange figures lurk in the woods. An unsettling old keeper watches from the shadows. And something else... something not quite human... is following you.The further you go, the darker it gets.
Fix the light… before it’s too late.

Players are divided on this game's merits. Some praise its atmospheric tension, eerie island setting, and slow-burn horror that creates genuine dread, along with solid voice acting and a compelling story. However, others find the exploration tedious and repetitive, with vast empty grassland maps, unclear navigation without position markers, and excessive fetch quests for fuses and fuel that feel like a chore rather than compelling gameplay.
This game is largely a chore simulator of a horror game since it literally makes you run around the island like an insane person just to find fuses with an EMF reader. To make things worse there are no paths or roads on the island its just vast grass fields, fields, and mini mountains so this game will get dull very quickly and I guess you have to find fuel cans afterwards based on the other review which makes things 100x worse. The game did have good voice acting tho and it does give you a map but there isn't a dot for example of where exactly you are https://youtu.be/OzRYX3PadUk5 found this helpful
Hard to follow and not really deadly or scary1 found this helpful
Very clearly a labor of love. I look forward to the next project from Dimlight Works, hopefully it can spook me like this did!1 found this helpful
Honestly I wasn't expecting much. This game definitely delivers. The island was eerie and lonely. Finding the fuses for the lighthouse was the most difficult part of the game, but did get you exploring the island. Having the option to get the gun in the game actually made it pretty fun fighting off the monsters. This game was awesome. Kudos to the Developer.1 found this helpful
Came in expecting a simple horror game, but this game really pulled me in. The atmosphere is super tense (quiet, eerie, and isolated). The island feels alive in a very wrong way, and the lighthouse quickly stops feeling like just a job. Not many jump scares, but the sense of dread is constant. The story unfolds slowly, and it sticks with you. Definitely worth it if you like slow-burn horror with a strong mood.
AI slop and doesnt even give the warning on the store page game is immediatly ass
