About This Game

Beyond the gate lies only madness.

Descend into a world where grief, madness, and ritual corruption have twisted reality itself.

After returning to his isolated lighthouse home in search of his wife Tatjana, Leonard Valentin becomes trapped within a nightmare shaped by fractured memories, forgotten experiments, and a mysterious asylum hiding unspeakable horrors.

As the line between illusion and truth begins to collapse, Leonard must uncover what truly happened behind the walls of the institution — and what dark force still lingers beyond the gate.

The Lighthouse House

Hidden high above the cliffs, the isolated lighthouse house was once Leonard and Tatjana’s home. Now its silent halls echo with unsettling visions, fractured memories, and the first signs of the nightmare consuming reality itself.

What once felt safe has become the beginning of something far darker.

The Asylum

Beneath the decaying halls of the abandoned asylum lie the remains of failed experiments, ritual corruption, and minds destroyed by madness.

Explore collapsing corridors, forgotten treatment rooms, underground chambers, and horrifying remnants of a catastrophe that should never have happened.

Deep within the darkness, something ancient continues to grow.

Gameplay

Experience classic psychological survival horror through exploration, puzzles, investigation, and terrifying encounters within a world consumed by ritual decay and madness.

Explore interconnected environments, uncover hidden secrets, manage limited resources, and survive grotesque creatures born from failed experiments and unspeakable horrors.

Every step deeper into the nightmare brings Leonard closer to the truth surrounding Tatjana, the asylum, and the entity known only as Calvar.
