I had to put all the settings to low because of my potato PC, but everything worked great.
The story is nice, and I loved how you hid the eldritch horror behind the lighthouse.
Also, the 'stuck' button was very handy while I was searching for secrets everywhere.
I had a great time.

A great submission! I especially liked the atmosphere and the tentacles up in the sky :)

It would be great to have more details to the endings in addition to the ending picture! I got two of them, but unfortunately the game crashed as I tried to go through it for the third time :(

I liked the atmosphere and the environment you made. Gradually climbing up the spiral staircase of the lighthouse, knowing that something sinister and eldritch is going on, definitely created a building sense of dread and suspense.

The journal entries were well written, and the illustrations were especially beautiful.

Unfortunately, I struggled to enjoy it properly because my humble laptop just wasn't up to the task of running it smoothly. And it crashed with a fatal error message when I picked up an item; I never got as far as lighting the beacon.

Overall, it seems fantastic, but I'm basing that less on my actual experience and more by extrapolating the good points and imagining how it runs on a better computer.

Hey thank you for trying, I just packaged a build of the game that changes some of the heavy UE5 features and bakes the lighting to it should run better on lower end hardware, Here is the download : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AoPfsu_qvJ5Rty2dgbcMCuQExnpuaMY0/view?usp=shari...

I really, really wanted to play this one but this error keeps showing up. This has happened before when I tried to open another game made on unreal engine, though. Hopefully, most people are able to open it!
