Developer solarsuit.games and publisher Polden Publishing have revealed that Static Dread: 15 Nights at the Old Lighthouse will launch for PC on August 7. This Lovecraftian horror game is set in a mysterious lighthouse that holds many key secrets. You’ll need to chart the course for ships, protect the lighthouse, and find a way to survive across 15 days.
In our preview earlier this year, we wrote, “I seriously was blown away by the demo I had the chance to check out, and I believe we’ve got a special game on our hands if the full release lives up to this. The narrative has me hooked, and I cannot wait to see just what awaits in the fifteen days the keeper must spend at the lighthouse.”
You can check out an overview of the game below via Steam:
In the aftermath of a global cataclysm, the harbor authorities reactivated an ancient lighthouse, hoping to keep the seas navigable amidst the growing chaos. A lone keeper is dispatched to the forsaken island, tasked with manning the beacon. The fate of passing vessels and the nearby town now rests in his hands. Far away, a wife and daughter wait for his return.
Each night, his duties grow more perilous. Mariners report encounters with creatures beyond the reach of science. Ships drift back from distant waters – empty, their crews vanished without a trace. In the island’s fishing village, the locals whisper prayers to sea gods and perform rituals to raise the dead.
Will the keeper preserve his sanity, protect those he loves, and guide the vessels entrusted to him through the abyss? Or will he, too, be lost to the dark tides gathering beneath the surface of the world?
Static Dread: 15 Nights at the Old Lighthouse will launch on PC via Steam on August 7, 2025.
