    While browsing them, one of the PC games you found there attracts your attention. You don't remember this game being here. You neither remember buying or playing it.

    It seems really old, something from the early '00s. The title says "No one lives under the lighthouse".

    The game description on the backside of the box seems to be poorly translated from some other language:

    "You arrive at the old lighthouse on a small island near the coast of the United States. After the previous keeper has gone missing, you need to take over his duties and watch after the light. The member of the Establishment told you they'll get you an assistant after a week or two, but right now you're on your own."    … Expand

    No One Lives Under the Lighthouse is a short but sweet experience dripping with atmosphere and dread. The sound design and graphics work well together to help you experience something unnerving as you play as a wicker. There are some moments that throw off the game as the controls become misfire. But if you're looking for a game that reminds you of the PlayStation 1 days, then think of picking this No One Lives Under the Lighthouse up.

    No One Lives Under The Lighthouse is an interesting take on Lovecraftian lore, with the focus more on letting you feel and discover the effects rather than showing them to you. Not everything pieces together conveniently, the gameplay can feel mundane if you're not into it, and some of the events leave room for improvement. Still, there's something compelling here, juxtaposing the complexity of the mythos that inspired the game with the simplicity of its overall presentation.

    No One Lives Under the Lighthouse is a game that horror fans should definitely check out, especially if the retro aesthetic appeals to them. It’s pretty impressive that, with such understated visuals and no voiced dialogue, a game can create such an atmosphere. And as the days go by and the horror cranks up, you’re not only kept on your toes, but also the edge of your seat.
