Imagine waking up as a kid in a creepy, isolated monastery, your arm pulsing with a weird parasite that glows in the dark. That’s the unsettling premise of Lighthouse, a new horror adventure game that combines spooky exploration and puzzles. This isn’t your typical jump-scare title; it’s a journey where a child’s innocence faces against the warped fanaticism of adults who’ve completely lost their way in the shadows.
The monastery around you is a maze of oppressive corridors and eerie silence, broken only by the skittering of unseen monsters. That glowing parasite in your arm? It’s your lifeline, casting a faint light that’s both a guide and a shield in this world. Your mission is to dodge the creatures, crack puzzles, and piece together the monastery’s dark secrets to find a way home.
The game’s atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, but it’s the light-based puzzles that really steal the show. You’ll use the parasite’s glow to unlock new areas, with each puzzle feeling like a small victory against the darkness. As you push deeper, the parasite starts to change, messing with how you interact with the world in various ways.
Set to release on PC via Steam, Lighthouse doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s already shaping up to be a must-play for horror fans.
