stupid story
就是好短,刚有点儿感觉,游戏氛围还是不错的
I am usually not good at reviewing games, but this game was absolutely wonderful. The suspense and story line was great. I completed the true ending. There are two more endings. I haven't played a game I loved so much since the Amnesia games. Worth playing if you like psychological horror. :)
quente!
alles aan deze game klopt ik heb ook al de andere game van gamephobia gespeeld en deze maker is echt super goed klasse
Wer auf der Suche nach einem kurzen, preiswerten Horrorspiel für eine schnelle Runde zwischendurch ist, sollte sich The Lightkeeper einmal ansehen. Es ist ein sehr kompaktes und kurzweiliges Game, das man ideal einschieben kann, wenn man Lust auf eine Portion Horror hat. Das Spiel beginnt recht entspannt, steigert sich aber im Verlauf spürbar. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die gelungene Atmosphäre, die durch geschickt gesetzte Jumpscares ergänzt wird. Mit gerade einmal vier Erfolgen ist es sehr überschaubar, bietet aber für den kleinen Preis eine absolut faire Abwechslung. Ein kleiner, feiner Titel, der für seinen schmalen Betrag genau das liefert, was man erwartet – kurzweiligen Horror ohne große Umschweife.
Fajne pozdro
If you are bored and have time to waste this game is ok for some jumpscares.
Juego corto con una narrativa decente, nada mal (sobre todo si lo pillas en rebajas)
This is a terrifying and sad story. Better than Ad Infinitum to my liking. Nice design and beautiful sunrises. The game is short, just 2 hour playtime but it worth it.
