Even though I really don't like horror games (the jumpscares!), I found this game quite nice to play. The surroundings of the lighthouse are beautiful, and the story is quite compelling. I've enjoyed playing it, so totally recommended!

What breaks immersion even more is playing a game set in 1925 and finding a map on the wall with countries that didn't exist then,. modern day unified Germany, Poland its own country...…
