    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 an enjoyably dark, surprising adventure that is well worth a look for those in the market for something a little obtuse, yet different.

    Original and intriguing while at the same time being strange and beguiling, No One Lives Under the Lighthouse works some old-school visuals in the best of ways.

    No One Lives Under the Lighthouse shows that the underground horror game scene is beginning to show up to expose its creations. The concept of a desolate place and what the same lighthouse represents in the immensity and darkness of the sea are enough to capture your interest and give you an experience different from the traditional.

    No One Lives Under the Lighthouse is a solid low-budget indie horror that aims a little too high with its gameplay mechanics. They only happen in certain endings, and its short run time means any horror fan will gladly seek them all out. At a $12 MSRP it is a no brainer if you enjoy getting the shit scared out of you.
