Iron Blight

Iron Blight is a survival horror game set in a forgotten Eastern Bloc town after the world has died and the state has collapsed. You are alone, though something stirs beyond the walls, and you must survive long enough to find your wife, Valeria.

Survive the town

You move through desolate streets and claustrophobic interiors, scavenging tools to overcome obstacles, solving puzzles and deciding whether to fight, flee or avoid danger. Food and medical supplies are scarce, and every bullet matters: gunfire can draw more horrors to your position. You must move cautiously, weigh each confrontation and consider what may be around the next corner. Even opening a locked door calls for thought.

Manage your supplies

Items take up space in a limited, grid-based inventory, so you must choose what to carry and what to leave behind. Resources are scarce enough that using your last bullet on a monster may leave you without ammunition for a more critical moment; you can instead hope to slip past unnoticed.

Fight with care

You check magazines manually, one round at a time, and reload through deliberate, step-by-step actions. Firefights are slow and methodical, with every shot counting. The game has no health bars, ammo counters or intrusive menus; information comes through your character and the world around you, making your own perception the interface.

A hostile atmosphere

Rain-slick cobblestones and flickering fluorescent lights fill a cold, hostile town. Distant cries from things that should not exist echo through its streets. The story unfolds through the environment, while isolation, uncertainty and the constant threat of death shape the experience.
