《守望者》（Keeper）是由知名遊戲創作者Lee Petty與Double Fine Productions（代表作包括《Stacking》、《Headlander》、《RAD》、《Psychonauts》）聯手打造的藝術風動作冒險遊戲。於2025年10月17日登陸Steam、Xbox Series X|S與Xbox PC平台，自推出以來獲得極度好評（321則評價），被譽為近年最具詩意與哲思的互動敘事體驗之一。

開場設定於一座被時光遺忘的孤島上——在那片沉寂的海域中，一座古老的燈塔長年沉睡於遠山的陰影之下。當枯萎的藤蔓開始蔓延、生命的氣息重新流動時，這座燈塔終於甦醒。它不再只是建築，而是擁有意識與靈魂的「守望者」。在一種無法名狀的使命感驅使下，燈塔踏上旅程，並在途中遇見一隻靈動、自由的海鳥。這場冒險，既是對失落記憶的追尋，也是對「陪伴」與「存在」意義的探索。

敘事採用全程無對白的表現方式，透過環境細節、聲音、光影與動作，去感受故事的節奏與情感的流動。遊戲中的每一個場景都充滿象徵與暗喻——荒蕪的海岸、閃爍的海面、隱約的山嶺與遺跡，共同構築出一個既真實又夢幻的世界。燈塔與海鳥的互動更是整個作品的核心，它們從彼此陌生、戒備，到逐漸產生信任與依賴，象徵著在無言世界中萌生的人性與情感連結。

視覺上，延續Double Fine一貫的藝術美學風格，以手繪質感與柔和色調構築出超現實般的畫面世界。遊戲的光影設計極具層次感，水面反射與霧氣流動皆帶有一種詩意的暈染效果，讓人彷彿置身於一幅會呼吸的油畫之中。音樂由Double Fine的內部作曲團隊打造，融合環境音、自然聲與輕柔旋律，沒有明確主題曲，卻在每個章節間自然流動，如同心靈的低語，與玩家的步伐同步共鳴。

玩法結合探索與解謎的動作冒險作品。需要操控燈塔穿越島嶼各地，利用光線、能量與風的力量，解開古老機關、喚醒被封印的遺跡，並與海鳥協作完成特定任務。遊戲並不追求激烈的戰鬥或速度，而是強調節奏的平衡與心靈的沉浸。每一次移動、每一次互動，都像是一場冥想式的旅程。

市場評價方面，自發售以來在玩家與媒體間引起廣泛讚譽。玩家盛讚其「藝術層次媲美《風之旅人》（Journey）與《Gris》」、「在無言中講述最具人性光輝的故事」。許多評論提到，遊戲雖然篇幅不長（約6至8小時），但情感張力極強，讓人難以忘懷。特別是遊戲結尾處的象徵性畫面，被認為是「近年最動人的互動藝術瞬間之一」。

媒體也給予高度評價，《GameSpot》稱其為「一場詩一般的靜謐冒險」，《IGN》則評價它是「一款以簡約手法探討孤獨與希望的傑作」。玩家社群中更有不少人將其與 Team Ico 的《ICO》、《The Last Guardian》並列，認為本作延續那種「以沉默訴說情感」的東方精神與敘事哲學。

總體而言，《守望者》不僅是遊戲，更像是一場靈魂的旅程。它讓玩家在寂靜的世界裡重新思考「守護」與「被守護」的意義，也提醒我們：即使身處孤島，只要有光、有同伴，世界就依然充滿希望。這款作品以極致的視覺詩意、細膩的情感刻畫與靜謐的敘事節奏，成為2025年最受矚目的獨立冒險遊戲之一。

 “Keeper”, developed by Lee Petty in collaboration with Double Fine Productions, is a poetic, dialogue-free action-adventure game that tells a heartfelt story through atmosphere and emotion rather than words. Set on a mysterious island lost to time, the game begins as a long-forgotten lighthouse suddenly awakens beneath the shadow of a distant mountain. Entwined in spreading, withering vines, it stirs to life with an inexplicable sense of purpose. Accompanied by a spirited seabird, the lighthouse embarks on a tender and surreal journey — a tale of unexpected friendship, mysterious transformation, and a voyage into realms beyond human understanding.

The world of Keeper is a masterclass in environmental storytelling. Each area of the island is beautifully hand-crafted, blending elements of fantasy and melancholy, where the player gradually uncovers the silent narrative through light, motion, and visual symbolism. The relationship between the lighthouse and the seabird is portrayed through subtle gestures and shared exploration rather than dialogue, giving the experience an emotional depth that resonates quietly but powerfully.

The art direction, led by Lee Petty — known for his distinct and imaginative visual style seen in titles such as Stacking, Headlander, RAD, and Psychonauts — gives Keeper a dreamlike aesthetic that feels both familiar and otherworldly. Its use of surreal lighting, fluid animation, and organic environmental design has been widely praised by players and critics alike.

Since its release on October 17, 2025, Keeper has received “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam, with more than 321 player reviews highlighting its emotional storytelling, atmospheric beauty, and immersive sound design. Many players describe the game as “a moving piece of interactive art” and “a quiet masterpiece” that captures the essence of companionship and rebirth without relying on dialogue or exposition.

Available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, and Steam, Keeper stands as another testament to Double Fine Productions’ creative spirit — blending emotional narrative, artistic vision, and innovative design into an unforgettable, wordless odyssey through light, loss, and renewal.
