The Light of The Forsaken Night : A Late 1600's Indie Horror

"Hearken, for the night be not what it once was..."

In the waning years of the 17th century, amidst cobblestone paths and moss-covered stone, ye play the role of a lamplighter—an oft-forgot profession of yore, charged with lighting the streets each eve so none may stumble 'pon darkness. But in this forsaken hamlet, the night be not empty—it hungers.
This is not but a mere tale of lighting torches and lanterns. Nay. ‘Tis a historical horror game born of dread, shadows, and ancient evil.

The Lamplighter’s Burden

As dusk falleth and the fog creeps like a thief, thine duty begins. With lantern in hand, ye must ignite the flame in every corner of the village, keeping the dark at bay. Yet something stirs beyond the veil—a demon with no flesh, a cursed thing that feeds on the lost and lingers where the light doth fail.
Can ye survive the forsaken night, or shall thy soul be devoured as many before thee?

A Tale of Vanishing Folk & Unspeakable Horror

Townspeople vanish by moon's rise. Whispers grow like weeds of a beast birthed from nightmare—faceless, skinless, and foul. The demon cometh not with claws, but with dread, slipping between shadows, drawn to where the light grows dim.
Thine quest is not only to survive, but to unravel the mystery behind the mass disappearances and the curse upon the land. Seeketh clues, readeth forgotten missives, and light the path to the truth—or perish trying.
