About The Lightkeeper

✦ AI summary

The Lightkeeper is a psychological horror game where you assume the role of a WWI veteran lighthouse keeper stranded on a remote 1920s island, forced to maintain the beacon while uncovering the horrifying fates of your predecessors. Unravel the island's dark secrets through exploration and resource management as your fractured mental state spirals, with multiple endings determined by your choices throughout this atmospheric, story-driven experience inspired by true events.

Alone on a remote island, you're tasked with keeping a lighthouse. But the horrific events that claimed the lives of previous keepers still whisper through the air. Each day, the line between reality and delusion fades and something in the dark is waiting for the last keeper

✦ AI summary

The Lightkeeper is a short horror experience praised for its beautiful visuals, strong atmosphere, and effective scares that leave an impression, though players note it's quite brief at around two hours and suffers from janky animations and lack of voice acting that diminishes some scenes. Most reviewers recommend it as a worthwhile experience for a single evening, though some feel it's better suited for a sale rather than full price given its length.

Good horror game.

I waffled back and forth on whether to recommend this. I'm usually really optimistic and supportive of short-form horror. The biggest reason I'm ultimately swinging towards a recommendation on this one is because I did some digging on the initial AI crap that went on with this, and kudos to the devs for ripping out the AI. The actual set design across the board is great and it's a very beautiful little experience. I did get creeped out and there's some really great stuff here. It could use some more polish though. The visuals and atmosphere carry it, even if some of the animations are a bit janky. Highly recommend you try this out if you have a free night that you want to lock in for about two-ish hours for a quick fright.

Beautiful and haunting game, I feel like I'm in a movie. This one will stay with you.
Recommended Oct 7, 2026
Pros: - a great plot - good graphics - great atmosphere - different endings Cons: - very short - predictable - lack of voice actors makes some scenes dull, which is bad in a horror game Overall: Nice visually and the plot is very interesting, but the game really just ends before it even had a chance to start. Still recommended due to the plot and atmosphere, but not worth the full 8 euros Steam is asking for it.

[h1] He believed there was some enchantment in the light. Salvation, said he. [/h1] [h1] Pros: [/h1] + Absolutely beautiful graphics + Great atmosphere + Runs great for UE5 [h1] Cons: [/h1] - Short - Very janky cutscenes The Lighthouse is one of my favorite movies ever and this was right up my alley. Played through it in one sitting while stimming Willem Dafoe quotes and enjoyed myself. The sky boxes in this are insanely pretty.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
