12 itemsAbout the Game
Lighthouse is a horror adventure game blending exploration and puzzles, set in a shadowy world where childhood innocence clashes with the madness of fanatical adults.
You play as a child who awakens in an isolated monastery after undergoing terrible experiments. A mysterious parasite lodged in his arm now emits a strange light — the only glimmer of hope in a place consumed by darkness.
Avoid monsters, solve puzzles, and use your parasite to survive and move through oppressive and contemplative environments to uncover the monastery's secrets and find your way home.
A child, a parasite, a dangerous world
Use the light of your parasite to survive in this hostile world and uncover the secrets buried in the shadows.
Your light will be your greatest ally in exploring the monastery. But beware: something always lurks in the darkness…
Light-based puzzles
Solve light-based puzzles to progress and unlock new areas. As your journey unfolds, your parasite will mutate. This will change the way you interact with the world and its secrets.
Run in the dark or walk in the light
Sometimes, survival comes down to a choice: run blindly through the dark, or move slowly and watch the danger approach.
Anticipate, react... or fall. Your instincts will be your only advantage in the most intense moments of the monastery.
