This nomination is thanks to you
We designed Iron Blight as a survival horror experience set in a rain-soaked Eastern Bloc town, where you're left alone with the horror behind the door and every bullet counts. The interest you've shown, the reviews you've written, and everything you've shared since launch brought us here. As a small team, being part of a festival like this, in a category like this, means a great deal to us. Thank you all.
If you haven't stepped into that dark night to search for Valeria yet, now is the perfect time. Don't forget to follow the game to stay up to date.
See you in the dark... 🕯️
