Did I miss somethings ? The conclusion break all what you build... It have a nice atmosphere, melancholy. But why call this "The Lighthouse" ? it's just change the fuse in the garage. You can't even go upstairs. It's a good start, and we hope you continued. 4/5 The graphics/music are very good. But I didn't enjoy the "rotate your pad until it do smethings" I passed half the time what button should I rorate or push or pul... The end is not good too, sorry.
Good work otherwise !!
When I attempt to install the game it gives me a pop-up that says "Cannot read property 'build' of undefined."
Ivan is a great man.
Was not expecting this game to be so charming and so sad! Would love to see more like this! Skip to 12:45!
I absolutely LOVED this, I hope that you make this into an even longer experience!
This was fantastic and you've packed a hell of a lot of emotion into a short game. I really want to give Ivan a hug!!
Everyone deals with loss differently. The way you decided to deal with it might be controversial or difficult for others to understand. I don't personally agree with isolation to 'deal with' the pain but no one should be judging you for the decision you made or have made. Lighthouses are iconic architectures here in Nova Scotia, Canada. They are beautiful but always alone and showing light for others, not for self though. It was melancholic but I appreciated the concept.
