The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse immerses you in a dark black and white, PSX style little prototype strongly inspired by the end of the homonym movie by Robert Eggers (2019).

What's Wake hiding at the top of the lighthouse?

What i worked on

I developed this game alone, so i worked on everything from concept elaboration to implementation with visual scripting (playmaker)

Description

With this game i want to recreate the mood of the movie: alienation.

How i do that:

• No HUD for more immersion

• Only light and structure of the island guide the player to key points

• Supernatural and estranged elements

• Medias res start

• The mystery remains as to what the lighthouse hides

​

To reproduce the aesthetic instead:

• Black and white

• 4:3 video format

• Few dim lights to give importance to that of the lighthouse and the flashes

• PS1 filter to give an older, dirty and disturbing look

• No music, only ambient sounds are heard

• Looped siren sound
