BlightWood

Blightwood - retro-PS1 horror survival

A tense first-person horror survival game with PS1-era visuals. Play as a detective and stop an eldritch ritual by collecting three stolen ritual books, if you survive the forest.

Game Overview

You are a detective called to a remote forest after reports of a strange disturbance. Following a trail leads you to a hut and an old hag who warns you off the dangers that lurks in these woods. Three ritual sites hold corrupted books that must be confiscated to close the breach.

Blightwood blends slow-burn exploration, item-based puzzle progression, and sudden, brutal encounters. Survive stalking entities and melee cultists, piece together the story from scattered notes and relics, and outlast the ritual’s crescendo.
