CONFIRMED: Infested DX, from publisher Komi Games and solo developer GrahfMetal (Jeff Canam), arrives on PC via Steam on October 27, 2026 for $9.99. The announcement came in the official press release dated October 15, 2026, from Toronto, and was corroborated by independent outlets that covered the publisher's material.
In Infested DX, the player wakes as the sole survivor aboard a derelict starship filled with hostile creatures and environmental traps. The goal is threefold: find a cure for your own infection, chart a route home and understand what happened to the rest of the crew.
A return to classic point-and-click
The central reference for Infested DX is the classic first-person MacVenture-style adventure, with stated inspiration from Shadowgate and Déjà Vu. The campaign is focused, at around three hours long, and bets on demanding puzzles, careful exploration, item gathering and unconventional solutions — with the constant risk that one wrong step ends the journey.
The DX edition is a rebuild, not a simple re-release: the original game launched in 2016 on Itch.io in 8-bit, and returns now with visuals redone in 16-bit, an expanded story and map, new areas, reworked and deeper puzzles, plus quality-of-life improvements such as quicksaves and full controller support.
Demo, trailer and what is already known
Before launch, Infested DX received a playable demo during October's Steam Next Fest, covering the game's opening decks. The official trailer, released by Komi Games, sets out the abandoned ship's atmosphere and the adventure's sci-fi horror tone. The project is GrahfMetal's return to the game after the launch of Beyond Shadowgate in 2024.
One clarification on price: the official release lists $9.99, while Time Extension rounds it to $10 and cites €9 for Europe. The price to go by when buying is the one shown on the Steam page in your region.
