STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE
ABOUT THE GAME
This game was submitted to SCREAM JAM 2023!
As a new lighthouse keeper, your night has taken a chilling turn. All the nearby lighthouses have gone dark, and, to make matters worse, yours is no exception.
A panicked fisherman's frantic voice crackles through your emergency radio. He desperately pleads for your help in guiding him to safety because, as he puts it, "Something emerged from the water."
Armed with your trusty map and the high vantage point from the top of the lighthouse, you must assist the terrified fisherman in navigating through the eerie darkness to reach safety.

this was really good
Wish it had been longer, but this was very, very good.
Really enjoyed this game! Only wish it was longer. Great dialogue leaving enough to the imagination to make it truly creepy to wonder about lurks beneath the water..
Always love a good lighthouse horror, one of my favorite settings to get uncomfortable in. Well done! :)Ok not gonna lie this is a very fun fantastic bite sized lighthouse horror game... but there could be one change I'd make to it.
Make a third option to save that man
I will say again that I really love games about lighthouses. But in this one, it makes me sad to think that tragedy is inevitable in one sense or another, oh
Me gusto mucho, la tension y la espera de que suceda.
i love how eerily pretty it is outside the lighthouse. it set the mood and nicely added to the experience
Here is an unique, short horror game. I found two endings to this game. Out here, surrounded by water and rocks, your job is simple: light the the lighthouse. It seems to be simple, until you have to help someone out there on the waters make it to safety, though, deep down, you know that won't happen. Pretty good for Scream Jam. Should make a sequel to reveal more of the thing that waits for us. Good job on the music and the ambience of the game!
would have loved if there were more horror bits in the game, other than that pretty solid game, visuals were dreamy and atmospheric.
I loved this game
Had a great time playing this Lovecraftian horror piece! 😊 Definitely worth the play-through! We’ll be keeping an eye on BedTimeStories and can’t wait to see more! Thanks for a great game!
Here’s how we fared against the murky depths if you’re interested 👇
But it was a really fun game overall and really well done! Interesting to also see you and the nautical themed games, they seem very fun too! Good luck on future projects!
Incredible game. Visuals are insanely good and i couldn't stop wanting more after i was done. Very well done !
I think it was a great concept, and a wonderful visual sight that genuinely ran like a charm. However, I do think this game was a bit too much of a slow burner, not that I dislike slow burners! It's just it took too long in order for anything to happen, not that I'm asking for jumpscares or anything, but maybe more atmosphere and audio queues. Overall, very clean and short game, and I would love to see what else you have in store. Very talented.
Feels good the rain, the radio, the sound and atmospher generally. Nice job.
I really loved the feel and art style of this game. I, personally, am bad at reading maps so I had to play twice. Great game. Can't wait to see more.
I made a video playthrough if anyone is interested:
nice
You did a good job with the game, I hope you continue making games, I really enjoy the graphics and the tense atmosphere that you manage to create, congratulations, keep it up
Gameplay PT-BR
Cool game, I enjoyed leading the crew to their demise.
nice and short game , 10-20 minutes top
guys it doesn't load for me idk wth to do help its stuck on 90%
there is a downloadable version too
oh my gah this is the first time in history someone's game got past the capture the flag game
Loved the game! Nice work!
With this game being inspired from H.P Lovecraft (from what I got), I am high about this game, I loved it and the little nods to H.P himself is a nice touch, also what is that thing that is not a rock? weird. Good game! 8/10, could be longer!
This game really hit home for me since I have thalassophobia. I liked the game mechanics and the design looks great too. The ending was unexpected too.
Here's my gameplay of it. It starts at 05:55
Really enjoyed this experience! It was really fun!
We have waves crashing, the vast knowledge of our littleness, and a game about The White Ship by HP Lovecraftian

Really well executed game, style was simplistic but described the area thoroughly. I enjoyed having to navigate the map and figuring out where the ship needs to be.

Thank you BEDTIMESTORIES for your game!

❤️ALL ENDINGS❤️
thats alott of endings
Cute game, wouldn’t call it a horror game, but it looked great and was enjoyable for 10 minutes.
This was a fun little game! A piece of feedback though, choosing between "left" or "right" around the boulder was a little confusing as it wasn't clear if it was referring to the player's map orientation or the boat's orientation. If you do an update, I'd recommend changing it to "East" or "West" to prevent confusion. Thanks for sharing, it was fun to play!
you're right I got that one wrong cuz I didn't know who's left and who's right
its puzzle.
Confusing or misleading text is not a "puzzle".
its meant to confuse or mislead you. thats the fun of it
This isn't misleading. It's asking you a question without giving you enough information to know the answer. That's not fun, it's terrible puzzle design. With good puzzles, you provide the player with all of the information that they need to make the right decision, then you mislead them in a subtle but obvious way. That's fun.
I am a sucker for lighthouse horror games . This one was pretty good . I do wish it had multiple endings though!
Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead Bedtimestories! HAAARK!
Pretty spoopy game. I'm a sucker for lighthouse stories. Would have been cool if the levaithan wasn't on the map, as a little bit of foreshadowing ;)
