The Lightkeeper is a psychological horror game set in the atmospheric and heavy ambiance of the 1920s.

At first, everything seems normal, but as time passes, the situation quickly deteriorates. With the horrifying truths behind the deaths of previous keepers coming to light, every passing moment on the island becomes a nightmarish ordeal for Arthur. His traumatic past and fragile mental state only worsen his condition in the isolated, eerie environment.
