👻 Soul Beacon

<p>Some doors are meant to stay shut. Soul Beacon opens one anyway. Soul Beacon is a free online survival defense game soaked in weightless cosmic dread. Your goal is simple to grasp and hard to master: banish creatures with light and protect your flame as long as you can. Creatures pour in from all four edges and only your light can push them back, so you will be tapping, prioritising and praying as the spawns speed up around your fragile flame.</p><p>Every detail, from the eerie procedural audio cues to the trembling glow of your light, has been tuned to make the scares land exactly when you least expect them. A built-in leaderboard tracks your survival score, so there is always one more run left in you — first you beat your own best, then you set out to beat everyone else's. If you love escape rooms, haunted houses, point-and-click adventures or a good Halloween fright, this is built for you.</p><p>Like every ArcadeOwl title it runs instantly in your browser with no download, no sign-up and no plugins, and it plays beautifully on phone, tablet and desktop with full touch and keyboard support. Your progress and best scores are stored right in your browser, so you can step away and pick the hunt back up whenever you next dare to return. Bookmark the nest and come back often, because the dark in here only ever gets deeper.</p>
