The Lighthouse Keeper: Cape Mourn

The light is your responsibility.

You arrive at Cape Mourn to keep its lighthouse running. Restore the power, find oil for the Great Lamp, and settle into the keeper’s routine. Then the noises begin.

Follow Alfred into a storm-bound island mystery, with Cheddar on the radio and the previous keeper’s notes as your guide. Explore the cottage, lighthouse, chapel and crypt, piece together what happened to Elias, and keep moving when the dark starts moving with you.

Inside Cape Mourn

• Radio conversations and discoveries: advance dialogue at your own pace with Enter or left click.
• Chases and survival: find what you need, watch your surroundings and make it back to the light.
