Welcome to our development blog for "Keeper’s Veil"; our psychological horror narrative game. Follow along to stay updated on our progress!

Stranded at sea amidst a brewing storm, this 2D narrative game requires the player to explore the strange happenings of the outside world from the isolation of a lighthouse. Taking on the role of a reclusive lighthouse keeper, the player must use various methods and technologies to communicate with people; gathering their perspectives and insights to discern the truth.

The concept is based on attempting to communicate a specific message and needing to understand information even in dire situations. Themes of superstition and sanity are also featured in this game, taking inspiration from Scottish folklore and unreliable narrators often found in Gothic literature.
