Vertigo Games, Interspace VR and ARTE are responsible for creating this title.

Bob has no idea what is going on outside his home, but when the radio starts broadcasting a storm alarm, he goes to the top of the lighthouse to turn on the light. However, something completely unexpected awaits him outside....
