Press release:
January 23, 2023.
The Toronto-based (Ontario, Canada) indie games developer Original Studios are today very happy and thrilled to announce that they are going to release a time-limited demo for their realistic survival game “The Last Plague: Blight” on February 3rd, 2023 (the said demo will be available for PC via Steam as a part of the February edition of the Steam Next Fest 2023 event).

Uncover the mystery behind an obscure disease and withstand the threats within a perilous open-world. Players can take their first steps into the harsh wilderness with a new demo available during the Steam Next Fest from February 3rd through February 13th.

The Blight, a devastating disease with unknown origins, has eradicated life as we know it. Escaping into the wilderness is seemingly the safest choice, but how long until the Blight reaches the final haven?

When hiding may very well lead to an inevitable demise, taking action is a necessity. The Last Plague: Blight tasks players to seek the root of the Blight and put an end to the disease once and for all. Humanity’s salvation is on the horizon, but reaching it is a daunting burden.

The Last Plague: Blight prides itself on providing a comprehensive survival experience with authentic realism and immersion. Every single action holds a purpose and a potential consequence. Cooking, crafting, or gathering materials eats up precious time.

Water needs to be boiled to ensure it’s safe to drink, and the proper containers will be necessary to carry liquids around without spilling. Raw materials require processing before creating the tools and building the structures necessary for survival. It only takes one simple slip up to spiral into utter demise.

The Blight is one of the many threats and challenges players must brave in the procedurally generated world. Wild beasts loom throughout the shadows and harsh weather conditions ravage the wilderness. Players must keep their guard up at all times while maintaining a balanced well-being. Hunger, hydration, energy, and any inflicted wounds all must be kept in check while in search for a better tomorrow.

Prepare to put an end to the disease and wishlist The Last Plague: Blight. Players brave enough to face the dangers of the wilderness ahead of launch may do so in a new demo available during Steam Next Fest.
