Digital Lighthouse Games, the game development division within entertainment and media house Digital Lighthouse Studios, today announced their debut title, the psychological horror game, Encryption.

Even amidst wildfires burning through southern Italy, Leonardo cannot lose hope of finding his missing daughter, Arianna. His search leads Leonardo to the town of Matera, one of the oldest inhabited places on Earth. Once crowded with people, the streets are deserted now the fire is closing in, but venturing deep below the city, Leonardo is not alone.

Encryption is a cinematic first-person horror adventure that blends exploration, puzzles and stealth. Based on real locations, Digital Lighthouse Games utilises its teams’ expertise in 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry technology to immerse players in the architecture and landscape of Matera and southern Italy.

“We’re very proud to announce Encryption as part of the Galaxies Gaming Showcase,” commented Adriano Bizzoco, Head of Studio at Digital Lighthouse Games. “Encryption is a rich psychological horror, with themes of the supernatural, loss and destruction that unravel to reveal a dark hidden truth. Recreating Matera and southern Italy with our own 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry technology is something we’re very proud of, and we look forward to sharing more of the world of Encryption and its many mysteries.”

The game is coming to PC in 2027 and can be wishlisted on Steam now.
