Why the FUCK aren't more people talking about Malys?????
A bit of background:
Malys is a roguelike deckbuilder set in an urban occult setting á la Hellblazer. It's the second game by Summerfall studios, who also made Stray Gods. The creative director for the game, David Gaider, is the creator of Dragon Age and was the lead writer for the first two games.
The art is both gorgeous and terrifying, the writing is stellar, there's a song that plays in the menu that I have on repeat all the time ugh it's so good, and to top it off is brilliant voice acting from Mat Dwyer and Alanah Pearce.
Unfortunately the game itself is still very rough around the edges - it's prone to crashing and each individual run is very feast or famine. But the game has been in 1.0 for barely two weeks and this is the kind of thing that can be easily tweaked.
So far I've only found ONE piece of fanart, and there's ZERO fanfic on AO3 I'm going insane someone please draw Gideon I want to throw him against a wall.
Anyway, I'm off to write fanfiction for the first time in 5 years.
