8 itemsAbout the Game
You accepted an unusual offer to work at an isolated lighthouse in the 19th century.
A lonely job, wrapped in silence and fog — something felt off from the very beginning. At the end of each day, your boss challenges you to five rounds of arm wrestling. Always at the same table. Always at the same time.
As the days go by, the routine starts to weigh on you. Sounds, shadows, gaps in perception. Something doesn’t add up — and you’re not sure if it’s just the isolation... or something hiding beneath it.
Focus. Resist. Something is watching.
Key Features
Arm wrestling mechanics: Click with precision on a rotating circle to overpower your opponent, round after round.
Stamina system: Each day, your mind and body grow weaker. When the stamina bar runs out, you must complete a key sequence to recover — or remain vulnerable.
Oppressive atmosphere: Psychological horror elements unfold gradually, with no direct explanations. The mystery lingers in the air.
Five-day progression: Each day brings new changes, strange events, and escalating challenges. Who will have the most wins by the end of the week?
Multiple endings: Your choices and performance shape how the story concludes.
Original soundtrack: Dark music inspired by films like The Thing and The Lighthouse, with retro PS1-style horror influences.
Retro visual style: Aesthetic inspired by classic horror games, with effects that simulate visual glitches and distorted audio.
