Frictional Reveals New Update For Still-Untitled Game
Frictional Games are back to teasing fans again over their next project. Last month, the devs were busy leaving clues hidden in their website’s code for the amateur sleuths in the crowd, and now they’ve posted a (sort of) first look at the still-unnamed game.
Titled “New Game Teaser: I am Tasi”, the teaser is only 27 seconds long and consists mostly of a blank screen from a first-person point of view. However, the character does open their eyes long enough to show what appears to be a desert sandstorm.
Also, if you pop in at the website, you’ll notice the development of a fetus. Thanks to the folks at Relyonhorror (or anyone with a basic sense of human development), the stage of the fetus currently would correspond to the second month of a human pregnancy. So, does that mean once September hits, we’ll have an official reveal of the game?

Get a Taste of the Action-Packed Terror in the Demo for FPS Shooter ‘BLIGHTEN’ [Trailer]
For those itching for some throwback first-person shooter action, Blight Software has just had a demo released for their upcoming FPS BLIGHTEN. The demo sees you and your squad selected to eliminate the last rebels in the eastern wastes, only to have your slaughtered, and you trapped in a decaying research facility. And you’re not alone.
You’ll explore every room of the facility for resources and weapons in an effort to stay alive. Luckily, you’ll have an extensive arsenal of various firearms at your disposal, from shotguns to assault rifles.
You’ll need them in order to take down the various blight-ridden mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. As one would expect, you’ll need to scrounge for parts and ammo, so make every shot count.
Similar to what players experienced in the early PlayStation classic Alien Trilogy, BLIGHTEN sports hand-drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still scratching that throwback itch.
It’s all wrapped up in a dark narrative, where an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you’ve lost — and the things you’re fighting for.
Look for BLIGHTEN later this year on Steam.
