Revival of Bliss is a Keen 4 mod and the final episode of the Aurora Bliss series released by Dave216.

This mod comes with the notable feature to hold an external encrypted file that contains an epilogue which takes place after the events of game. In order to decipher the bonus package, one needs to find all the necessary clues that are spread throughout the game. It also comes with the features for having 2 playable characters - Commander Keen and Captain Craig - with different gameplay. While playing as Craig, you cannot use a pogo stick for the most part but in return you have infinite shots.

Story

It seems that the troubles of our heroes, Craig and Keen, are not over. The horrific dictator of Azura Astrid, Allain, has been spotted on Aurora Bliss, plaguing the planet with his industrial empire. The heartless Al has shifted his focus from robotics to making an entire planet run on his perpetuum mobile machine, which is located on Aurora Bliss. The boys decide to put a stop to his evil plans and save the planet Aurora from certain doom. Myah joins them on their quest to avenge her family...
