What if you were paid to be alone with your thoughts?
The Lone Keeper is a first-person psychological horror game set on a remote island lighthouse in the middle of the ocean. You play as a newly hired keeper assigned to maintain the lighthouse overnight. What begins as a quiet, mundane job slowly unravels into a nightmarish descent into isolation, hallucinations, and a crumbling sense of reality.
Wake up each day to complete your routine—fuel the generator, report weather conditions, and check the radio for ship signals. But something feels... off. Objects seem to change when you’re not looking. Shadows stretch just a little too far. The foghorn groans with something more than wind. And at night, the dreams come.
Inspired by real-world phenomena like pareidolia, the game constantly challenges your perception—what looks like a figure in the dark may just be a coat rack... or may not. As days pass and time itself fractures, you’ll begin to question what’s real, what’s imagined, and whether anyone is really listening to your reports.
