In 1925, during his first experience in this line of work, Arthur is sent to a remote island. Due to a shortage of personnel, he must perform his duties alone.
At first, everything seems normal, but as time passes, the situation quickly deteriorates. With the horrifying truths behind the deaths of previous keepers coming to light, every passing moment on the island becomes a nightmarish ordeal for Arthur. His traumatic past and fragile mental state only worsen his condition in the isolated, eerie environment.
Features:
The game features multiple endings, with players facing three critical choices at the end that will determine Arthur’s fate in very different ways. The story is inspired by true events, adding an extra layer of chilling realism to the experience. also to deepen the emotional connection with Arthur and the story, high-quality cinematic cutscenes are integrated into the game.

I've not come across a better jump-scare experience yet in gaming.. I'd say I got more jump-scares here than with Requiem.. This is an absolute banger if you like jump-scares.. don't miss out!! Get this game! Darkphobia - MORE of this please!!!
Das vierte Spiel von Darkphobia, und bisher das bedrückendste meiner Meinung nach. Spielerisch gibt es nicht viel zu tun, atmosphärisch und inhaltlich trifft es aber voll ins Schwarze. Technisch ist es sauber und eindrücklich gelöst. Die Insel ist glaubhaft gestaltet, Grafik und Sound Design sind sehr gut gelungen.
I was excited about playing this game and I was not disappointed! It's atmospheric, cinematic, and absolutely spooky! I had a really good time with this gem and I will absolutely be checking out this devs other games! Check out my playthrough here: https://youtu.be/2PkEEQ_Z1yk

I really enjoyed this game 10/10
really boring. no story. turns out it's AI. srsly wish i hadn't given it my money. HARD PASS.
Arthur, vétéran de la Première Guerre Mondiale et désireux de fuir un passé qui le tourmente, accepte un poste de gardien de phare sur une île déserte. Par maque de personnel, il se retrouve seul à son poste après avoir assuré la relève de ses deux prédécesseurs. Alors qu'il prend ses nouvelles fonctions, d'étranges phénomènes ne tardent pas à se produire... Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un petit jeu indépendant, The Lightkeeper ne semblait pas dénué de promesses... mais dans les faits elles sont malheureusement loin d'être tenues. Sa direction artistique mérite toutefois d'être saluée, reposant sur l'emploi du moteur Unreal elle se montre magnifique, mais le tout s'avère trop exigeant graphiquement. Que ce soit en niveau de détail élevé ou moyen, j'ai été forcé de brider le jeu à 60 images par seconde pour éviter qu'il ne surcharge ma RTX 4070 et la fasse chauffer. Certes certains éléments graphiques manquent de finesse vus de près, mais le tout reste globalement très beau et au rendu parfois proche du réalisme. La question se pose de savoir si pour un jeu de ce genre, c'était réellement nécessaire. Au niveau sonore rien à redire : les bruitages, voix et musiques viennent compléter le tableau avec efficacité. The Lightkeeper est un simulateur de marche assez proche d'un jeu comme Layers of Fear où tout sera essentiellement basé sur l'ambiance et la narration qui dévoile petit à petit son intrigue. Pour autant le jeu n'offre pas assez au niveau de l'expérience vécue par le joueur : les lieux à visiter sont limités, les interactions avec les objets ou l'environnement assez simplistes et aucune énigme ne vient rehausser le tout. A noter que le jeu propose quelques séquences de sursaut pas nécessairement utiles ni même efficaces. D'autres jeux du même genre ont su proposer mieux avec une technique pourtant moins aboutie et assurer la relève dans ces conditions est un pari qui ne sera pas nécessairement relevé pour tout le monde. L'histoire, toute aussi mature qu'elle soit, n'a rien de nouveau pour qui est habitué au cinéma de genre des années 80/90 ou aux jeux d'horreur de ces dernières années. The Lightkeeper risque donc de décevoir les amateurs les plus exigeants, le mieux étant peut-être de regarder quelques séquences de jeu sur YouTube pour se faire une idée avant d'en envisager l'achat.
peak. so immersive. you can feel his guilt gnawing at you, like you did it yourself. face the truth.
How tf do you play this game? I played for a few mins, explored the island. No autosave feature, I quit and apparently nothing got saved? I picked up an item (valve I believe) to use it on a machine. I open my inventory and....nothing I click actually equips the valve. I see options like return, select, etc but there are no key binds assigned to them. Nothing does anything. Oh, let's not forget the unskippable cutscenes. Avoid.
