The Last Plague: Blight

Original Studios | TBD

The Last Plague: Blight is an extremely challenging and realistic single-player top-down perspective survival game.

The Blight

A mysterious new disease called the Blight has descended upon the land. You have managed to escape its devastating effects as it has consumed your village and left it to ruins - You now find yourself alone in the wilderness, tired and hungry. You've bought yourself some time, but for how long? The Blight grows larger every day, consuming everything in sight...

Realism

The game strives on providing a punishingly realistic and immersive experience with a ton of depth. Actions like chopping trees and cooking food take a lot of precious time. You can only carry a few things at a time. You need to boil water to make sure it's safe to drink. Water and other liquids need to be carried in bowls and other containers, and will spill out if not transported securely. You will need to scavenge numerous raw materials, many of which will need to be processed, combined, treated or hardened to make tools, items and structures.

Challenge

The Blight is just one of many threats to your existence in the unforgiving wilderness. After quickly setting up camp you will constantly need to keep yourself well fed and hydrated, replenish lost energy with sleep and short rests, defend yourself from the wild beasts that still inhabit the woods, heal your wounds, protect yourself from the harsh elements, and figure out a way to somehow end this terrible disease. Almost everything in the procedurally generated world can and will kill you if you aren't careful.

There are whispers of Druids in a far off land that may know more about the Blight...

New Trailer and Story Update

Apr 8 2022 News

New Trailer

The game's first trailer came out 10 months ago when the Steam page first launched, and the game has evolved a ton since then. Figured it was a good time to update the trailer to show a few of the new features and how much better the game looks now. Check it out:

The Story Update

The game also had a huge content update a month back called the Story Update (v0.5.0).

The main goal for the update was to start expanding on the limited story of the game and give the game some directionality. Making it so that there is more of a purpose and a path that should be clear and interesting enough to take. While a bit of this has been added in the update, it's becoming clear how much more the game still needs in order to become truly special.

A ton of other cool and interesting features have also been added to the game to make the journey along the new path exciting. A lot of existing mechanics have changed, and a lot of new ones have been added, making the experience a bit different than it was before. I hope people are excited with all the new features and the way the game is evolving.

Main Features

Completely reworked world generation - incorporating new road and village generation for a more varied and interesting world
New locations to discover - resource rich areas and swampland
Completely reworked map to show the above new features and locations, along with a much better look & feel
New dialog system for interacting with NPCs
Ability to put your own labels on the map
Initial ranged weapons - throwable stones and spears
Shields for use in combat
A whole bunch of new resources to find in various places in the world
Repairing items
New buildable hand cart for hauling many heavy items longer distances
Localization system and an initial translation of the game to Russian
New water reflection graphics setting
Bunch of new items, recipes, and buildings to create
New clay items and pottery kiln for hardening them
Compass for navigation in the "more realistic" mode - requires a lot of patience and attention but very rewarding
Grass slowly turning to dirt as you run around in camp
And a ton of other small features and improvements

There have been a lot of various performance improvements to the game since the last update, but also things are are a bit resource intensive in other places. The new water reflections being one of the main features in that regard.
