If you were a fan of the classic Alien Trilogy on PlayStation, Blight Software has a little something in the works with BLIGHTEN. Coming to Steam, BLIGHTEN echoes the eerie atmosphere found in the classic Probe Entertainment shooter, but throws in tension-inducing survival horror mechanics to up the ante.
After becoming trapped in a decaying research facility, you must navigate and find your way out through its Blight-ridden hallways. You’ll explore every room 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 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 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.
