The world has ended—or at least, that’s what you’ll feel as you step into the worn shoes of a solitary lighthouse keeper. Static Dread: The Lighthouse, developed by solarsuit.games and published by Polden Publishing, launched on August 6, 2025, offering a chilling blend of bureaucratic simulation and cosmic horror.
In this part of the walkthrough, we’ll guide you through a stormy night, where you face a dire choice. Whether to save innocent lives or feed them to the darkness.
Table of contents
Night 5 is stormy and dark. Read the instructions that come in from the port.

The Static will interrupt the call and offer you a deal. He will ask you for three ships in order to save the rest. Check the door next.
Deputy Tides
Deputy Tides is at the door. She will tell you the same story about the villagers becoming increasingly aggressive.

Apparently, the Elder has sailed into the sea with 10 villagers. She will give her contact frequency and to contact her, if the Elder calls in.
Who is on frequency 131.6?
It’s the courier. He is apparently lost out at sea. Ask him to send his form over so you can guide him back. He will resist – he has no life to speak of. The Static will push you to send the Courier to him. I sent him to Deep Creek as his ship is damaged.

Who is on frequency 015.9?
Its Don Dualli again. He wants you to destroy a yacht called Luminara. The Static will be ecstatic. You can choose to help the smugglers out or not. Regardless, for now there is someone at the door. Go check but you must keep the lights going. It is someone you haven’t met before.
Madam

Once again, you can choose to let her in or not. I didn’t.
Who is on frequency 082.4?
You will be able to reach the vessel Horizon on this frequency. Send the ship to Deep Creek.

Who is on frequency 129.5?
It will be the vessel Pluto again. Strange.

Like for every other ship, you can choose to send this third Pluto to the shore or send them to the Static. I chose to send them to Blackfort. Before the next call, turn on the lights and fix the lighthouse lights as well.
Who is on frequency 077.0?
Captain Drake can be found on this frequency. The Static will demand the Captain’s soul.

I sent the Luminara to Blackfort, much to the chagrin of the smugglers and the Static.
Who is on frequency 034.3?
A fishing vessel called Sophia Marine will call in. Since it has no issues, guide it to any port of your choice.
Who is on frequency 036.5?
A yacht called Michael Reed requires assistance. Guide it to any available port.
Who is on frequency 263.9?
Guide the ship James Pryor to Mystic Point.
You will get a call from the Static. As he tries to overpower you, try to stay conscious. Eventually the Static will show up inside.

You will receive the second journal from the Static. End the shift now and read the new journal. There will be a knock at the door next morning.
The Hunter

He is mad that you didn’t let his wife in. Answer the call from the port. You will also notice you can’t reach your family.
Flip the breaker to start Day 6.
