Blight Software has released a demo for 'BLIGHTEN', a retro-style survival horror FPS inspired by 'Resident Evil' and featuring 'DOOM'-style graphics. The game is set in an abandoned facility overrun by creatures infected by 'Blight'. Players explore rooms, secure weapons and supplies, and survive with limited resources. The demo is available on Steam, with a full PC release planned for 2026.
A trailer released alongside the demo shows the player using various weapons to defeat eerie creatures in a dimly lit facility. The game combines a 3D retro world with hand-drawn enemy sprites and animations, creating a distinctive atmosphere. Resource management is central: ammunition and supplies are limited, requiring split-second decisions. The story unfolds as players progress deeper into the devastated facility, confronting Blight-infected enemies with unique abilities. 'BLIGHTEN' is scheduled for PC release on Steam in 2026.
