About the Game

West Texas, 1986. Golden Springs was once a quiet town but now stands empty. A supposed outbreak has wiped out humanity, leaving Sonny Barstow to navigate the horrors of its aftermath. 

But something is wrong. The streets are too quiet and shadows… they move when you aren’t looking. 

An homage to the golden age of VHS horror, Blight Night perfectly blends eerie exploration, intricate puzzles, and third-person action into a haunting experience. It’s not just about survival—it’s about uncovering a mystery that was never meant to be found.

  • A Living 80s Horror Experience - Relive the dread of 80s horror films with a menacing word where tension lurks inside and out of frame. 

  • Explore, Solve, and Survive - Navigate decayed buildings, uncover cryptic messages, and solve intricate puzzles to piece together the truth drenched in utter darkness. 

  • The Shadows Work Against You - Light is your only ally. The deeper and longer you stay in the darkness, the closer something gets. 

  • Hidden Treasures & Upgrades - Search abandoned buildings for hidden treasures, weapon upgrades, and secrets that reward those who dare to dig deeper.

  • A Soundtrack Straight from the 80s - A haunting mix of eerie ambiance and synth-driven retro tracks immerse you in the golden age of horror.

Some places were meant to be forgotten.

Some stories should never be told.

Yet here you are, standing at the edge of something you can’t explain.

The Past is watching, the darkness is always waiting!
