Discover the cure and chart a course for home, in the reimagined MacVenture inspired Sci-Fi horror from the developer of Beyond Shadowgate
Toronto, Canada, 3 November 2026 – Publisher Komi Games and solo developer GrahfMetal (Jeff Canam) are thrilled to announce that Infested DX, the retro sci-fi horror point-and-click adventure game, is out now on Steam. Daring adventurers can experience the game for the discounted price of $7.99 (normally $9.99) until 17 November 2026.
Inspired by the classic ICOM Simulations games of the NES era, Infested DX oozes atmosphere and embraces the high-stakes retro puzzle-solving that defined the MacVenture genre. Expect to die fast, die often, and rely on unconventional experimentation to overcome relentless obstacles across a focused, three-hour campaign.
Awakening as the sole survivor aboard a desolate starship, players must navigate deadly hazards, hostile creatures and lethal environmental traps, as they search to find a cure for their own infection, chart a route home and make sense of the nightmare that doomed the rest of the crew.
Originally released in 2016 as an 8-bit indie darling on Itch.io, Infested DX marks GrahfMetal’s definitive return to the project following the acclaimed launch of 2024’s Beyond Shadowgate. Rebuilt from the ground up to realise the game’s full vision, this “DX” edition delivers a vast visual overhaul alongside substantial new content and modern quality-of-life improvements.
