Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Static Dread: 15 Nights at the Old Lighthouse” playtest version. Lovecraft meets Papers, Please. Play as a lighthouse keeper and guide ships safely into the harbor using your radio. Survive the presence of something impossible, and don’t let the shadows consume you!
In the eerie aftermath of a global cataclysm, “Static Dread: 15 Nights at the Old Lighthouse” casts players as a solitary lighthouse keeper, tasked with guiding ships to safety using only a radio. As the nights progress, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, with mariners reporting encounters with unexplainable creatures and derelict ships returning devoid of life. The game masterfully intertwines Lovecraftian horror with the strategic decision-making reminiscent of “Papers, Please” creating an atmosphere thick with suspense and dread. Each choice can mean the difference between salvation and doom, challenging players to maintain their sanity against the encroaching darkness.
