What is Keeper about?
Keeper is a third-person adventure without spoken dialogue. The story is told entirely through animation, music, and sound. You control a lighthouse that suddenly awakens after ages of stillness—on spider-like legs.
The story begins on a deserted island in a post-apocalyptic world. The lighthouse rises after being awakened by a curious bird named Twig, who seeks refuge from a dark force spreading across the land. Together, the two unlikely companions set out to uncover the source of this threat.
According to Double Fine, the lighthouse’s beam of light affects not only flora and fauna but can also repel the creeping vines spreading across the island. Meanwhile, the bird can interact with ancient machinery, becoming an essential companion on the journey toward the mysterious mountain at the island’s center.
