NICOSIA, Cyprus – Aug. 6, 2025 – Indie game publisher Polden and developer solarsuit.games is thrilled to launch Static Dread: The Lighthouse on Steam today! This dark horror sim inspired by both Papers, Please and the unknowable terrors of H.P. Lovecraft combines lighthouse-keeping gameplay with survival horror elements and atmosphere, plus multiple endings to discover. Watch today’s new cinematic launch trailer to prepare yourself for your time at the lighthouse!
Static Dread: The Lighthouse combines ancient Eldritch horrors with the eagle-eyed observation of Papers, Please. As a lone lighthouse keeper, it’s up to you to maintain the beacon of an ancient lighthouse after calamity has befallen the world. But beware…mariners report encounters with creatures beyond the reach of science, and ships have been drifting back from distant waters completely empty, their crews vanished without a trace…
As your duties grow more perilous with each night, the fate of the nearby town and passing vessels are in your hands. Meet a variety of strange characters and make difficult choices that will determine their fortune. Survive Lovecraftian terrors, use your radio to guide the ships entrusted to you through the abyss, and don’t let the shadows consume you.
Static Dread: The Lighthouse is available on Steam today for $9.74 with a 25% discount until August 20 (Standard price $12.99).
