Lighthouse: The Dark Being

Adventure game by Sierra, released in 1996

2 CD's, English version, no subtitles (but there is very little dialogue)
First person, point and click

This download includes a Sierra patch to enhance gameplay. It provides an 
in-game hint system and the option to use a highlighting cursor to help you find 
the hotspots in the game. Don't forget to activate this option each time you 
start the game.
It also makes some of the really hard puzzles a bit easier to solve.

Lighthouse: The Dark Being immerses you in a surreal supernatural and mechanical 
world. Your adventures begin when you're drawn to an old lighthouse on a dark 
and stormy night.
You receive a message from a friend, Dr. Kriek, who lives there. He has to leave 
immediately on some important business and needs you to come and look after his 
baby daughter. Once at the lighthouse, a little sleuthing quickly reveals that 
the Doctor has been doing some strange research and has encountered a odd being 
from another dimension. Before you can piece everything together you see the 
creature described in Dr. KriekÆs journal grab the baby and jump through a 
multi-dimensional portal. 
Once across this portal you will encounter a deranged mechanical bird, learn how 
to use a bat whistle, explore a shipwreck, ride a submarine and much more.  

Your mission becomes one of rescue where lives and even fates of worlds depend 
on your actions. You are thrust into a bizarre but strangely enticing and 
beautiful universe that seems to parallel our own, but is inhabited (or should I 
say, terrorized) by an alien -- a dark being. 

Surrounded by danger (physical and mental) in this diverse, haunting land, you 
must grasp the alien technologies you uncover, deal with unsettling treachery, 
marvel at new and strange inventions and encounter evil in an effort to solve 
the mysteries of Lighthouse: The Dark Being. You'll need courage, imagination 
and time to journey through this architecturally innovative and visually 
stunning world.

The puzzles are mostly fairly obvious to work out, since in a lot of cases it 
involves figuring out how to get various machines working. Since you can't seem 
to damage anything, all you need to do is press a switch, pull a lever, turn a 
dial or whatever and see what happens. Then try the next one and the next and so 
on. Eventually you'll work out how the machines operate. There are however a 
number of other puzzles, including a puzzle box, which is quite devious since 
when you complete a puzzle it just opens up to reveal another one. And then the 
last puzzle in the box has to wait until later before you can complete it. There 
are also a number of 'conventional' puzzles such as 'how do I get across this 
chasm', 'how do I get into the safe' (and this one's a real stunner), 'how do I 
switch the lights on' and so on. There is even a maze, but it's a bit different 
since it's an underground railway. And yes, you do get to drive the train :-) 

Lighthouse is played from a first-person perspective, there is little character 
interaction and you quickly become lost in a foreign land with only your wits 
and a few inventory items to help you.

The game features puzzles and games, otherworldly machines to master and 
operate, and a deep story line.
