About the Game

BRING THE LIGHT BACK

You arrived for a routine job, but the silence on this rock is deafening. The previous keeper is gone, and the machinery has been sabotaged. You are alone with the storm.

Dear Lighthouse is a tactile puzzle game where you don't just press a button to fix things, you must physically operate the gears, connect the circuits, and fuel the fire.

GAMEPLAY FEATURES

  • Immersive Repairs: Interact directly with industrial equipment. You must manually operate valves, connect electrical circuits, and manage power systems to restore functionality.

  • Scavenge & Restore: The lighthouse is in disrepair. Explore the island to find scrap materials and use the workshop to fabricate the missing component needed to fix the mechanism.

  • Narrative Mystery: The previous keeper didn't just leave, he was driven to the edge. His scattered diary pages tell a story of obsession and a 'song' on the wind.

Discover the Truth: Was he crazy, or was he the only one listening?
