Checkpointing was frequent, which helped in some of the more frustrating combat and chase sections. There are enemies in the game who are horrifying to look at, sound like the devil and are miserable to run away from. The game is rarely fun, but that seems to be what horror genre fans want. The scares are real, with a mix of proper dread and creepiness being the majority of them. Jump scares do happen, but they’re used well and not the main focus of the title.

No One Lives Under the Lighthouse is an enjoyably dark, surprising adventure that is well worth a look for those in the market for something a little obtuse, yet different.

No One Lives Under the Lighthouse is a game that horror fans should definitely check out, especially if the retro aesthetic appeals to them. It’s pretty impressive that, with such understated visuals and no voiced dialogue, a game can create such an atmosphere. And as the days go by and the horror cranks up, you’re not only kept on your toes, but also the edge of your seat.

All told, No One Lives Under the Lighthouse ranks among the better examples of the retro-horror indie scene. However lacking in budget or workforce this crew may be, Marevo Collective overcomes those hurdles with creativity and focus.

No One Lives Under the Lighthouse works some old-school visuals in the best of ways. The story is wonderful and ambiguous, but whilst some of the gameplay feels a bit stodgy in places and game crashes are likely, those issues somehow add to the whole tone.

No One Lives Under The Lighthouse is an interesting take on Lovecraftian lore, with the focus more on letting you feel and discover the effects rather than showing them to you. Not everything pieces together conveniently, the gameplay can feel mundane if you're not into it, and some of the events leave room for improvement. Still, there's something compelling here, juxtaposing the complexity of the mythos that inspired the game with the simplicity of its overall presentation.
