Overview
Swallow is a first-person psychological horror game that plunges players into a chilling narrative rooted in a true, unsolved case. Set on an isolated 20th-century English island, the game casts you as a lighthouse keeper tasked with uncovering a dark truth. The experience begins with a sense of normalcy – waking up in the keeper's house, the familiar lighthouse, the routine of the job. However, this tranquility is shattered by a growing unease, as the island itself ceases to be quiet. Players will navigate a world that seems to guide them down a specific 'right path,' but this journey is fraught with the oppression of reality and psychological influences that lead to self-doubt and a gradual rewriting of one's own life.
