I was able to jump into the demo of the game during the last Steam Next Fest. I'm going to screw around with it some more, and formulate my thoughts. However! I am an enthusiastic two thumbs up on this game and looking forward to its release.

Game Notes

• Hopefully, folks aren’t confused by Blight: Survival when pairing the search terms ‘Blight’ with ‘Survival.’ Update- as of 7/31/2022, the name of the game has been changed to The Last Plague: Blight
• The developer envisions the game as something akin to Project Zomboid in terms of realism, with a dash of Don’t Starve. (Steam Forums)
• The developer wants to avoid the skill system(s) prevalent in RPGs. I agree! I always thought the way SCUM handles it is pretty neat: you naturally get better at specific attributes – like dexterity- from time and gameplay, which impacts your proficiency at things. (Steam forums)
• In a welcome nod for content creators- you can stream/record your time in the playtest, so play away! (Steam Forums)
