Komi Games has announced that Infested DX, a remastered edition of GrahfMetal's cult itch.io horror title Infested, will launch on Steam for PC on October 27.
The publisher confirmed a visual and gameplay overhaul that moves the game from an 8‑bit aesthetic to a richer 16‑bit presentation, while adding expanded maps, story content, and modern accessibility options such as save states.
Background and context
Infested originally appeared on itch.io roughly a decade ago as a compact, DOS‑inspired point‑and‑click horror experience.
Drawing creative cues from late‑'80s and early‑'90s DOS horror adventures and classic sci‑fi horror films like Alien and Galaxy of Terror, the game puts players in the role of the sole surviving astronaut aboard a deserted starship trying to find a way off the vessel while avoiding hostile lifeforms and environmental hazards.
Rewriting notable statements
The headline line "Where no-one can hear you scream..." encapsulates the game's central premise: a solitary survivor isolated aboard a derelict ship and hunted by alien threats.
In clearer journalistic terms, Infested DX is framed as a survival‑horror experience built around isolation, resourceful puzzle solving, and high lethality.
What’s new in Infested DX
- Visuals: The remaster upgrades the original's 8‑bit look to a 16‑bit presentation, enhancing atmosphere while retaining the retro aesthetic.
- Controls: Point‑and‑click mechanics have been optimized for gamepad support to broaden play options beyond mouse input.
- Content: The release expands the story and map from the itch.io build and adds quality‑of‑life features such as save states to mitigate the game's frequent deaths.
- Availability: A playable demo for Infested DX is available as part of Steam Next Fest, giving players an early look ahead of the full Steam release on October 27.
The full game will be priced at $10/€9 on launch.
