First-person horror platformer Blessed Burden adds Linux and Steam Deck support

First-person platforming with a dose of horror? Sounds interesting! Blessed Burden recently added Linux and Steam Deck support.

In the game you play as the “last priest” as you descend deeper into “the deepest depths to destroy the very essence of evil” as you avoid traps, lava and fear itself. There’s no need to rush in this one, how you play it is entirely up to you. You can go fast and aggressive or slow and steady while you take in the atmosphere and lore. With a skill upgrade system, you’ll gradually get access to improve various movement skills.

Originally released on June 18th, the Linux and Steam Deck support came in with the July 9th update. This update also added Steam Input support, the ability to race against your own ghost character and various quality of life improvements.

Game Highlights:

• 10 levels – from mushroom caves to brutalist megastructures.
• 1.5 hours for a first playthrough.
• Horror-infused religious atmosphere.
• Deconstructivist, brutalist, and infernal architecture.
• Retro visuals with a modern flair.
• Unique soundtrack – a fusion of church choirs, ritual percussion, and industrial sound.
• Devil’s suspenseful monologues.
• Movement skill upgrade system.
• Leaderboard – compete with other players in level completion speed.
• Collecting infernal relics.
• Sliding on colossal roots.
• Riding giant snakes.
