Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 7 → 3.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Mesmerizing tales of the sea
Strange characters
An atmosphere of unknowable horror
Multiple endings
In the aftermath of a global cataclysm, the harbor authorities reactivated an ancient lighthouse, hoping to keep the seas navigable amidst the growing chaos. A lone keeper is dispatched to the forsaken island, tasked with manning the beacon. The fate of passing vessels and the nearby town now rests in his hands. Far away, a wife and daughter wait for his return.
Each night, his duties grow more perilous. Mariners report encounters with creatures beyond the reach of science. Ships drift back from distant waters - empty, their crews vanished without a trace. In the island’s fishing village, the locals whisper prayers to sea gods and perform rituals to raise the dead.
Will the keeper preserve his sanity, protect those he loves, and guide the vessels entrusted to him through the abyss? Or will he, too, be lost to the dark tides gathering beneath the surface of the world?

前期挺有意思，中后期有点无聊。虽然有参与感但是参与感也不大。。钱能干的事太少。光钓鱼都吃不完。 剧情，结局我感觉比较一般，很平淡，反转我确实没想到不过也没什么特别的了。工作里的操作和玩法还是太少了，到后面很无聊。受限于活动空间外界对主角选择的反馈没有实感。 游戏整体质量还不错，可以玩。
This is a gem
Muy buen juego, pero cómpralo solo si entiendes ingles muy bien. La traducción al español es terrible y se pierde totalmente el contexto de lo que ocurre. Por poner un ejemplo de lo poco revisada que está la traducción, cuando en el menú principal vas a los ajustes, verás abajo un botón que dice "cerca". Claro, porque "close" puede ser tanto cerrar como cerca, según el contexto, pero el juego no atiende a eso y está lleno de barbaridades así. Si entiendes inglés estupendo, pero sino pasaría de esta compra hasta que le pongan ganas a la traducción.

I have not played a game this good in a long time.
So far this game has been absolutely amazing, Imagine the vibes from No i'm not a human, mixed with Lighthouse Duty and eldritch horror
Не пускаем никого в маяк. Действуем по протоколу
Для инди игры очень даже не плохо, как по мне отстает от i am not a human, но на несколько вечерков идеальна. Атмосфера присутствует, возможных концовок всего 8, к которым естественно приводят решения игрока.
Впервые проходил ещё в прошлом году, на фоне популярности «No, I'm not a human». Ачё)) и там и тут двери, и там гости и тут гости. Но на поверку оказалось, что это «Papers, please» с прикольным антуражем работы смотрителя маяка, уютом и набившей оскомину лавкрафтианщиной, с его рыболюдами и прочими голосами со дна, куда попадают разработчики, которым лень придумывать что-то своё. Геймплейный цикл прост и красив: по ночам делаем работу и следим, чтобы не выключался свет; под вечер — раскладываем по дому вещицы, наводим порядок и уют. Из консерв строим пирамиды на комодах, бутылки с водой и чем покрепче сортируем на полках, мешаем в кучу мясо, рыбу и грибы, развешиваем картины и стыдливо энергетики закидываем под рабочий стол. Атмосфэрно, одним словом. Но на второе прохождение восторга не возникает. Объект сравнения закономерно сгинул в пучине, а игре нечем тебя удивлять. Смены проходятся на автопилоте, сюжет ты уже знаешь, записки скипаешь, иные развития второстепенных сюжетных линий тебя тоже не удивляют. Понятное дело, всё потому, что не проникся, но и проникаться-то особо нечем. Механики здесь скуднее, чем в «Papers, please» 10+ летней давности, атмосфера быстро выветривается, а повторение клише Лавкрафта вызывает скуку. Но на разок пойдёт. К слову, закрывая сравнение с «No, I'm not a human»: здесь, когда ты умираешь, игра не удаляет твои сохранения, а просто позволяет переиграть ночь. Понимание, что тебя никто не съест и даже не уволит, тоже пагубно для атмосферы, но «Human» я рефанднул, а «Lighthouse» — нет. Думайте. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3747294394
ótimo jogo, mal posso esperar para o próximo, ele é tenso, cada noite parece uma tortura e infinita, o sistema de escolhas é muito bom e tem ótimas referencias!
Lovecraftian Papers, please what`s not to love 🙂🙂🙂
