‘Death of Rose’ Returns in New Trailer, With Slight Changes
You may remember indie dev Artur Łączkowski and his story-driven horror game Death of Rose. The game was originally scheduled to arrive back in February, but Łączkowski pulled the plug, stating that he couldn’t “fully express and present” the game’s potential with its current state. However, it hasn’t stayed dead for long, as Łączkowski has announced that the game is back on, with some new additions.
Along with announcing that the game is back on, Łączkowski also released a new trailer for the game, showcasing some awesome-looking ray tracing effects. When contacted by DreadXP, Łączkowski had this to say: “The Ray Tracing trailer was created as a test, but this scene is from the game. Just in a different form. The game is set to release in a month or two, not longer. It’s heavily inspired by Stranger Things and the 80’s. It’s also no longer a straight horror game, but a mystery adventure.”
The story for Death of Rose has also changed: Scott is a high school radio show host with his best friend Beth as the producer. Every night, listeners call in to the show. One day, the calls he receives begin to change. Will Scott be able to handle the pressure and help his listeners in this interactive adventure inspired by the 1980s?
You can wishlist the game on Steam, if you haven’t already done so.
Death of Rose is back! Inspired by the 1980s, including Stranger Things. Completely redesigned experience. Thank you all for your patience.. soon I'll give you more info and a brand new trailer.

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.
