About Static Dread: The Lighthouse
Static Dread: The Lighthouse is a Lovecraftian horror game from solarsuit.games and Polden Publishing that its makers sum up as Lovecraft meets Papers, Please. After a global cataclysm, the harbour authorities reactivate an ancient lighthouse and send a lone keeper to the forsaken island. Every night you use your radio to guide ships safely into the harbour, while a wife and daughter wait for you far away.
Each shift grows more dangerous. Sailors report creatures beyond the reach of science, ships drift back with their crews gone, and in the island's fishing village locals pray to sea gods and perform rituals to raise the dead. Meet strange characters, decide who to trust and try to keep your sanity across several possible endings.
