Project Lighthouse

Poly Haven's biggest adventure yet

Poly Haven is developing its first-ever video game, Project Lighthouse, designed with three goals in mind:

  1. Create more free assets on polyhaven.com for game developers.
  2. Demonstrate the value and potential of our work in a real production.
  3. Explore the idea of selling games as a way to fund free assets for everyone.

And we need your help to pull it off!

About the Game

Explore an atmospheric lighthouse island, solve puzzles with otherworldly technology, and uncover why it's not so easy for you to leave.


Project Lighthouse is a first-person linear atmospheric puzzle game that plunges you onto a remote, craggy island with a simple mission: Restore functionality to a vital Lighthouse as urgently as possible. But...

Your plans unexpectedly change the moment you activate the lighthouse mechanism. Encased in a shimmering energy dome, the island is violently transformed and the lighthouse becomes the epicentre of a mysterious scientific catastrophe.

Using highly experimental technology, you explore and solve environmental puzzles to uncover the fate of the island's disappeared inhabitants, solve the mysteries of a catastrophic experiment, and escape from being trapped in a philosophical limbo.
