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.
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 2,402 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.

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.

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.

The Lightkeeper is a short game with great atmosphere and a few decent scares. The AI voice acting which I heavily disapprove of and probably would have driven me away from purchasing this game had I known about it like a year ago when I grabbed it was pretty terrible and took me out of the game every time it appeared, which is disappointing because the cutscenes otherwise are great. There is a good amount of artifacting going on throughout and the English here is noticeably bad. Overall this game is imperfect, but if you can get past the 7 or 8 AI voice lines and want a good one hour horror experience with a middle of the road, somewhat interesting narrative, it's worth picking up on sale.
Very pretty scenery, well made but 2 hours of ok gameplay
Страшные Игры на вечер. Вот это я понимаю Ужасы, Это просто Великолепно и Поразительно. Разработчик Вдохновлялся фильмом Маяк (2019) с Дефо и Патисоном, много отсылок. История рассказывает нам: о смотрителе маяка, который начинает наблюдать чертовщину. Так же не забудьте перепройти игру на все 3х концовки. Мое уважение.
В начале было скучно но потом обристал себе штаны
Unglaublich gute Geschichte. Ein Spiel, welches sehr gut in die Richtung des psychologischen Horror geht. Riesige Empfehlung
Juego corto con una narrativa decente, nada mal (sobre todo si lo pillas en rebajas)
It's a mid, short horror game. A man goes on a visit, and the darkness itself tries to break him by projecting his own fears and past trauma into his world. I just wish it had a more intense, scarier atmosphere that gave you those "this is too much" vibes.
peak. so immersive. you can feel his guilt gnawing at you, like you did it yourself. face the truth.
mid horror game, ambience is ok, rest not
