BLIGHTEN was covered here on GamingOnLinux back in April, and recently it had a new teaser that really badly made me want to see a lot more.

What is it? BLIGHTEN is a survival horror fps set in an abandoned facility overrun by mindless creatures infected by the Blight. Scavenge for resources and do whatever it takes to survive the industrial hellscape you're isolated within. Styled like some classic shooters from the past - it really looks intense and gives off quite a Dead Space vibe.

Check out the new teaser below:

• Immersive Retro Atmosphere: Hand drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world creates a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still being fateful to classic retro graphics.
• Deep and Dark Narrative: As you descend deeper into the decaying facility, an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you. 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.
• Ammo Management: Ammo and resources are limited, make every shot count, your survival depends upon quick thinking and inventive thinking.
• Face Blightened Foes: Engage in combat with the blight ridden creatures navigating the facility, each with their own unique abilities and traits.
