Keeper first made its debut on XBOX and PC in October 2025. It is an atmospheric puzzle adventure game in which players take control of a lighthouse that has been awakened and, joined by a spirited seabird, it goes on a heartwarming journey of an unlikely friendship. The story is told with the absence of words, as you traverse surreal realms in a world full of innovation and charm.
