Under the Lighthouse

About

Under the Lighthouse is a brief visual novel following Liv as she reconnects with someone from her past during a storm. Set in a single location, the story unfolds through dialogue and static artwork with minimal player input. The tone is intimate, focusing on conversation and emotional beats rather than branching choices or interactive elements. The game’s simplicity is its strongest feature, clocking in under two hours with no complicated mechanics. It released in August 2024 for Windows and Mac, positioning itself as a quick narrative experiment rather than a polished entry in the visual novel genre. While the lack of depth may feel underwhelming, the straightforward approach suits players looking for a low-effort, atmospheric story snippet.
