The anticipated fan-made PS1-style demake of Bloodbornehas finally finished development and is now available to play with a free download. The Bloodborne PC demake project recreates the seminal PS4 game from the ground up using PS1-style assets and aesthetics, and was conceived by indie developer Lilith Walther.
Walther initially revealed the Bloodborne PSX demake in early 2021, which generated a fair amount of excitement in the enduring Bloodborne community. Throughout the year, Walther released details and glimpses of the project in YouTube trailers and Twitter threads, which showed consistent progress and kept fans interested. She capped off the year with a 10-minute gameplay showcase for Halloween, and shortly thereafter announced the game's full release date of January 31, 2022. While many call for the official release of Bloodborne on PC, the fan demake might be the closest players will get for some time.

Walther, known as b0tster on Twitter, has now delivered on that promise, as fans can now download and play the 1.0 version of Bloodborne PSX for themselves. The game is free, but naturally, it's only available on PC (via itch.io) and requires a Windows operating system. The demake features both gamepad and keyboard support, with remapped controls that are more reminiscent of a PS1 layout. Walther also thanked all those who supported her over the 13 months of development, and credited other creators who collaborated with her on the soundtrack and the custom box art.
