Our take on Seek Not a Lighthouse
Its focus on investigation, puzzles, and dialogue leaves little room for action-oriented play. The two-period structure also divides attention between separate characters and timelines rather than following one continuous journey.
What is Seek Not a Lighthouse?
Investigate the disappearance of a mysterious creature and the events connected to it in a retro point-and-click adventure.
The story follows the Silent Traveler, who seeks answers after the death of a man he never knew, and an islander from another period. Switch between these two characters as their experiences reveal different parts of the mystery.
