still 2022 and zero updates I feel so betrayed and i waste 22,99 euros and steam can not refund my game because i have this game almost 2 years
I'm mad at myself for forgetting that this game is still not the full game yet. It's basically a demo that you pay for. I totally forgot and saw that the game was on sale and bought it without remembering the above. DONT BUY! THIS GAME HAS HAD NO UPDATES SINCE IT CAME OUT. Developer blaming corona. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Every gaming studio still create games, even during corona. The play time that I have is the full game so far. 0.8 hours... I feel betrayed and stupid. I want my money back.
[url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/32296668-Casual-Game-Reviews/]More reviews on our Curator Page[/url] [h1]More interesting reviews on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33843777//] Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page[/url] [/h1] After the first 40 minutes of The Lighthouse, I had a strong feeling that this is one of the most complete and excellent projects in Early Access that I saw in Steam. And after 20 minutes the game is over. It ended only at this point in time (according to the roadmap laid out by the developers, there will still be a huge amount of content in it), the game is still in Early Access. Impressions are fantastic so far. Before us is a traditional thriller about a detective who has lost his child in the past, and is now slowly drinking, who goes to a mysterious house at the lighthouse to look for adventures (perhaps the last in his life). Despite this traditional complication, the game manages to avoid the traditional traps that await horror games, and make the appearance of high-quality frightening games so rare. There is no blood or jumpscares. Seriously, there are no jumpscares in the 2019 horror game. I have nothing against them as a whole, but to make them a quality element that would not look ridiculous is an incredibly difficult task that requires tremendous effort. And sometimes it’s easier to put these efforts on other elements, as is done here. Fear is achieved through pressure and playing with our primitive, deeply rooted anxieties. First of all, this is the sound that I generally consider the most important part of any horror work. I love the sound component of this game, it is performed at an incredible level. And the music, and sound effects, and subtle nuances, once again stirring alarm and apprehension - everything was done very efficiently, the work was done titanic. Visually, the game also looks very stylish, although in some places I had problems with optimization. The action is very balanced between exploring locations and solving various puzzles, which, albeit not very difficult, but interesting enough, although I want to have even more riddles. In general, the word "stylish" can be applied to everything that relates to the project at this stage of development. It is now impossible to find fault with the game at all, everything looks incredibly promising, the project already at this stage is something very interesting and solid. Therefore, I would like to wish the developers exceptional success, you are on the right track, do not turn off it and I really hope that the final result will be as impressive as the first chapters promise.
Game is incomplete and has not been updated for over a year as of this review. What is there is pretty good but with only an hour to two hours of gameplay, cannot give it a recommendation. Solo developer has admitted that covid has impacted their ability to finish the game. Buy it on sale or wait until the game is finished.
Game never completed by developer and it's been years. Regret supporting this game :/
2024 and still no update since 2019 ^^ for 20€ you get a 1 hour playable teaser thats just a RIP OFF!!
Disappointing. Paid $8 for an hour of content on a game that has been in early access for 3 years. Wait until the game is finished to buy, whenever that is. Now aside from all this the game plays well and looks good so what they did put together is the start of a very promising game. In it's current state 3/10 but I'm sure in a finished state it will be at least a 6/10 if not higher.
I just can't tell you to buy this. It's been in my Library for a long time, I opted not to play it since it was in early access, wanted to wait for the game to finish or at the least receive some updates. It just hasn't, nobody should support this game further. Over 3 years, no updates. If you can get it for $1, then sure, go for it. $25 is a highway robbery.
I finally got around to playing this game and it took about 90 minutes. Beautiful scenery, with a lot of detail. Spooky atmosphere created by music and sound effects with a handful of tasks. Not sure what I just went through, as I ended up with more questions than answers. It is like a series of experiences threaded together rather than a coherent story. When I purchased this, I knew it was early access but was not paying enough attention to note that it was only a portion of the game. At this point, the full price seems a bit high for the amount of play time... will be interesting to see how things fan out when the next installment is added. If you are inclined to play this exploratory adventure with some surreal transitions, I'd recommend waiting for a sale or for additional content to be delivered.
Great early-access game! The developer is really active on their discord about updates. This starts out as a noir detective, but then goes thriller and horror real fast. So much attention to detail, atmosphere, story, music.. you can tell this game is a labour of love. You really have to hunt around for items too which is cool. A few decent jump scares as well! If you buy it early access, you'll get the additional acts for free as part of the one time payment.
