Nautical horror game Static Dread is like a Lovecraftian Papers Please

Lighthouses are bad news, everybody knows that. Just ask Jack from Bioshock. Or Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse. Or Lena from Annihilation. Across all media—just take those mainstream examples from games, films, and literature respectively—lighthouses are creepy and filled with incomprehensible horror. Static Dread The Lighthouse follows in the eerie footsteps of Bioshock and Dredge with its own spin on the creepy lighthouse genre, mixing Papers, Please style gameplay with old school graphics and that eldritch Lovecraftian horror.
