Quick answers to the most common questions.
Yes. It released on 14 August 2026 for Windows on Steam and GOG as a single-player title. There is no multiplayer.
No. The Submarine is a new story in the same aurora-struck world. Playing The Lighthouse adds context, but this wiki does not reuse that game's radio or nuclear codes.
English, French, German, and Spanish. Legal pages (terms, privacy, cookies) stay in English and are shared across languages.
No. The developers stated demo saves do not transfer, and the demo was significantly older than the 14 August retail build.
Most Steam reviewers finish a first ending in about three to four hours. Extra endings, Dream Team, and collectibles need extra runs.
No. This is an unofficial fan resource. Confirm patches and store details on Steam, GOG, or solarsuit.games.
