Very short but very creepy and unsettling. B/W works so much better to make the atmosphere and setting extra creepy works very, very well for these VHS/Found Footage type games. Really liked this one.
breaking through the waves another lighthouse creepily ponders the existential questions of survival and alone mustering the fearful guize of horror through insanity
fanciful withdrawls imposing darkness under horizons of distant objects conversing quietly through the static waves crashing
The story telling was pretty cool and the note being as a hint towards the Captain being under the creature's influence was a nice little foreshadowing. The ambience was also very creepy!
Creo que podrían mejorar un poco la mobilidad y sensibilidad del mouse, pero la ambientación es espectacular. Los puzzles son pequeños pero interesantes. En general me gustó mucho el juego, lo recomiendo a todos.
Thanks for making this awesome game and not locking it behind a paywall.Ill probably support when I start earning till then as a fan of lovecraftian work this is one of the games I truly love
Does anyone remember Scatman John? This game reminded me of the Scatman for very little reason. However, H.P. Lovecraft horror is some of the best kind of horror, so thank you for making this. 👍
There's something about islands and those that live on them. This game follows that logic to a tee. The sanity of the first moment, suddenly turns into a raving frenzy, where lunacy reigns as the new overlord of the new normal...
What a beautiful game this is!! The ending did feel very rushed . I wish theyre were more creepy stuff with the caption before the end but this game is so lovely. Great job! Your game starts at 20:01
The games fine as another Lovecraftian Horror, It's very slow paced a bit interactive and wonky at some times. But love how big the fishes are. Would have liked it more if there was a bit of lore regarding the contract of the captain and the Cthulhu like being but still liked it none the less.
I really enjoyed this! I think it was a bit short, and there could have been a bit more lore but you had some nice ideas, I loved the old movie roll look and the gameplay was super smooth. It's such a small thing but especially with fetch quests involved it's so nice to be fast, I was zooming around the island :D
OFF the Bat. Black and White Horror games give me the Creeps. I loved that throughout the whole game the Light Housekeeper has a look of regret. Definitely is a Great Game.
A decent attempt at a Lovecraftian horror game. The gameplay is very simple and there isn't a lot to it, and the ending is somewhat sudden, but I liked the grainy old-time movie visuals. It's worth showing the dev a bit of support, so give the game a shot.
This definitely hit the nail on the head for the Lovecraft, because it was so chilling and creepy right from the start! I didn't see the ending happening! I thought for sure it wouldn't happen the way it did! Great game!
Before Dawn is a short and fishy little game with some decent atmosphere going on. While some of the models felt a tad simple(I think the lighthouse was a castle tower?), the overall layout of the island looked pretty good. Evil fish demons aside, I'd live there.
Honestly, this was an enjoyable experience all around. It was short, but it was, like I said, really enjoyable. The end was sudden, but good. Keep up the good work!
I streamed this along with 2 other short indie horror games. I loved the visuals on this game. I wish there was more of a story to explore and learn before the end of the game though but overall I enjoyed this game.

The atmosphere and the visuals of the game are
great but the last part is a bit abrupt, but still a good game!This was really cool. Loved the look and feel of it. I almost ended early because I hadn't died until near the end and thought that was the end. :)

Worth the short playtime and it did well establishing the power of the unknown towards the end. Thank you for making this!

I tried making a video on it, however i failed because the text was too slow for me and at the end i couldnt sleep?

I loved the Lighthouse! This is one of the best inspired games for that movie I have seen :)

Good job, devs.Such an awesome game! I wish I was able to kill that cthulhu, but I'm just an apprentice!
