About the Game

Step into the shoes of Aaron or Abigail, a lawyer investigating their grandfather’s mysterious disappearance. Set in 1912 America, where darkness reigns and fear lurks around every corner, you’ll explore an unsettling world inspired by Lovecraftian horror. What begins as a simple search soon turns into a descent into madness, as reality bends and sanity slips away.
Inspired by legendary titles like Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Shadows Over Lighthouse captures the chilling essence of early survival horror with a focus on atmospheric storytelling, fixed camera angles, and immersive exploration.


  • Classic Third-Person Horror: Experience the terror with fixed camera angles, enhancing tension and immersion.

  • Exploration and Investigation: Search for clues, interact with objects, and piece together the dark mystery surrounding your grandfather’s disappearance.

  • Puzzle-Solving and Survival: Overcome intricate puzzles, environmental challenges, and eerie obstructions blocking your path.

  • Psychological Horror Mechanics: Reality bends as you progress. Doors you once unlocked may suddenly be sealed again. Events defy logic, forcing you to question your memory and perception. Inspired by Eternal Darkness, these mind-bending effects simulate the protagonist’s descent into madness.

  • Enemies and Non-Combat Solutions: Encounter grotesque entities from beyond human understanding. While direct combat is an option, evasion, stealth, and critical thinking may be the only way to survive.

  • Reality-Warping Environments: Traverse impossible spaces where optical illusions, shifting rooms, and teleportation challenge your grasp on reality.

  • Multiple Solutions to Challenges: Think outside the box, some obstacles offer more than one way to progress.

    Shadows Over Lighthouse fully embraces Lovecraftian terror, the creeping dread of losing one’s sanity and the terrifying realization that some truths should remain undiscovered.

    Dare you seek the answers? Or will you, like many before, succumb to the darkness?
