About the Game

Settled At Sea

Take on the role of a lighthouse keeper on a remote Scottish island, seeking solitude and inspiration after the loss of your wife.

Each day, you'll maintain the lighthouse, carry out your routine duties, and explore the rugged coastline of Bracken Isle. As you take in its breathtaking landscapes, you'll begin to uncover the island's forgotten past.

But the island doesn't feel as deserted as it should. Clues to its forgotten past are hidden across the landscape, and with each passing night, the feeling that someone—or something—is watching begins to grow.

Explore the island, uncover its buried history, and decide what you're willing to sacrifice to discover the truth.
