Swallow

Swallow is a first-person psychological horror game about a lighthouse keeper investigating an unsolved case on an isolated island in 20th-century England. Based on a true story, it focuses on story and exploration.

You wake in the keeper’s house to what should be an ordinary shift at the familiar lighthouse, but the island is no longer quiet. As you follow the path laid out by the world around you, you face the pressures of reality and possible psychological influence, gradually questioning yourself and seeing your life rewritten through your own thoughts.

Creating unease

The game uses real-world objects rather than zombies or monsters that hunt the player. Object placement helps tell the story through each scene, while psychology, sound and shifts in space build the horror atmosphere.
