Blight Night

You can really tell how much thought went into this game. There are tons of hidden details and small environmental easter eggs tucked into every part of the world. It rewards exploration in a way that feels handcrafted. The game has a eerie vibe, and the action-RPG mechanics have surprising depth. The headshot system is pretty cool. Once you figure it out, it really changes how you approach combat. It encourages sneaking, distancing, and thinking before engaging. Every area feels distinct, like it was built with intention. No two places feel the same. If you want to play an atmospheric survival games injected with retro survival horror, Blight Night is absolutely worth checking out.

Played this originally on mobile and it was pretty good even though I don't really like mobile games. Got pretty excited when I heard it was coming to PC and yeah, instantly hooke!

Runs perfect on steam deck. Amazing game. Love everything about it. This is the kind of horror game i fantasized about since ps1 resident evil/parasite eve days. Buy the game. Support the dev. This guy needs more money to make more. I missed the bug input during game. I thought i was givin the bar key. Maybe not but i dont have it and my special items is filled with spark plugs. I didnt know i kept picking them up

Blight Night is a top-down survival horror game set in an eerie 1986 desert town overrun by mutants. You play as a lone survivor scavenging items, solving puzzles, and battling zombie-like creatures—with a sweaty VHS-era filter and haunting 80s synths. It feels like flipping through a horror VHS tape that comes to life. Pros ✔️ Rock-solid zombie atmosphere – It nails that classic 80s horror feel: VHS fuzz, echoing footsteps, flickering lights—it’s all there and it works. ✔️ Natural quest system – Objectives like finding keys or finding hidden keys to unlock a bonus treasure chest feel naturally written into the story. ✔️ Modern-meets-retro blend – It’s got a nice retro feel but definetly plays nice and modern style. Cons ❌ Controller and movement need work – The controls feel stiff, especially on a pad. Turning and aiming didn’t always feel tight. ❌ Paths feel a bit linear – At times it felt like walking a railroad track—go here, kill zombies in the way, rinse, repeat. I wished for more open-ended exploration. ❌ Stamina system falls flat – Instead of adding tension, the stamina meter just made me feel tired for boring reasons, not strategic ones. Conclusion This one drew me in…

Not exactly a game for me, but I can see the quality and potential. Very reminiscent of early Resident Evil. I think it's vastly overpriced though, I'd say wishlist and wait for ~50% off sale or so. If you enjoy a slower, thoughtful, retro horror then you should find a lot of fun here. Gameplay and my first impressions: https://youtu.be/20MtYfMSdDU

Recommended. A solo-developed 1986 zombie conspiracy romp whose note-rich storytelling, diegetic radio broadcasts and satisfying ragdoll combat shine, undermined by punishing stamina, inventory friction and a preventable soft lock. Remarkable work for one pair of hands. The found-note conspiracy peels back a military cover-up with real dark comedy, and the optional puzzle layer (safes, dig spots, carnival token codes, a raven puzzle) is woven into the fiction rather than bolted on. Catchy fictional radio songs linger, the act structure reopens the town area by area, and a fully upgraded endgame LMG turns the finale into a genuine power fantasy. Stamina drains fast and recovers slowly while the walk speed compounds both, and the tiny inventory with no item dropping makes looting fiddly. A specific Act 3 item grab can brick the run outright, alongside occasional camera locks and enemies popping into existence. Deserves a patch, and remains thoroughly worth playing.
