Overview
Clairvoyage: The Lighthouse is a single-player, time-loop puzzle adventure from developer and publisher Volpe Software. Released on November 4, 2026, this atmospheric title blends mystery, exploration, and psychological horror as you step into the role of a lighthouse keeper trapped in a repeating eight-minute cycle.
The goal is simple yet haunting: restore the lighthouse and save a ship from crashing onto the rocks. But the island holds secrets, and shadows lurk in the dark, watching your every move.
Highlights
- Time-Loop Mechanic: Each loop lasts eight minutes, and every run reveals a little more about the island's tragic history. You'll need to piece together clues across multiple cycles to change the future.
- Physics-Based Interaction: Pick up, carry, and manipulate objects with realistic physics. The environment is your puzzle box, and every object might hold the key to breaking the loop.
- Short-Film-Inspired Design: The experience is crafted to be completed in one sitting, much like a short film. It's a focused, narrative-driven journey that respects your time while delivering a chilling story.
Who It's For
If you enjoy story-rich adventures with a dark, atmospheric edge—think The Vanishing of Ethan Carter or What Remains of Edith Finch—this game will likely resonate. The time-loop structure adds a layer of puzzle-solving that rewards careful observation and experimentation.
It's also a good pick for players who prefer shorter, self-contained experiences that can be finished in an evening. Note that the game includes a graphic depiction of suicide and violence from hostile entities, so it's not for the faint of heart.
