The Lightkeeper Is Gone is a stylized horror adventure centered around discovering the story of a missing lightkeeper while performing your duties of tending the lighthouse island.

The Story:

Working on a lighthouse, isolated from civilization, is a demanding job that takes a resilient spirit and iron discipline. The L---- Isle has only seen two keepers to date—and while the first managed well enough, the recent hire has been more of a nuisance. Now that they are officially gone without a trace, a reliable worker can replace them. You seem to fit the criteria, don't you?


Game's Features:

  • Several hours long story driven by the player's choices told through the first person perspective of a newbie lighthouse keeper;
  • Multiple endings;
  • Free exploration that clues the player in to the story's nuances;
  • Engaging light keeping mechanics;
  • Immersive atmosphere;
  • Fishing mechanic.

I don't know if the fishing is broken or not, I hit Left click on the fish spawn - left click just 'Casts the rod' in an animation with no string or bob/bait, I don't see any indication of placing bait on the fishing rod in any way, and no matter how long I wait, nothing 'bites' or shows me that the fishing is even working and I gave up at that point. I got on the boat, tried fishing on the dock but 'no fish' ever bit and the instructions mentioned something about 'LMB to hang the lore on the hook, and press again to Cast the fishing rod' - but LMB only ever Casts the rod or Retracts the rod - I don't think I've ever seen my character 'Hang the lure on the hook' once???? Broken??? Was I somehow doing something wrong? No idea.

Hello!

Yes, it was broken, because I had the outdated version of the demo on Itch. Sorry! I've changed the file to the version where this issue should be fixed.
