A haunting deckbuilder with a demonic twist

Malys is a roguelite deckbuilder soaked in supernatural dread and narrative depth. In this premium strategy game, you play as Noah, a tormented ex-priest turned exorcist, tasked with hunting down demons in a cursed city. Guided by powerful storytelling and beautiful hand-drawn visuals, your mission is clear: expose, endure, and expel.

Strategic exorcism meets atmospheric tension 

Combat in Malys is unique—each hand requires a sacrifice. Burning cards lights candles, allowing others to be played. It’s a tense push-pull that demands smart planning. Each possessed host poses different challenges, forcing you to adapt. A small con: the pace can feel slow at first while you learn the layered mechanics and card synergies. 

Written by Dragon Age’s David Gaider, this game brings emotional weight and branching consequences to your journey. Every death resets the night, yet Noah retains awareness—creating a looping, ever-evolving experience. The keyword here is replayability, with multiple endings and shifting dialogue depending on your choices. It’s equal parts cerebral and chilling. 

An unholy union of horror and strategy 

Malys blends storytelling, horror, and deckbuilding into a memorable experience. With rich lore, meaningful mechanics, and haunting presentation, it’s ideal for fans of narrative-driven roguelikes. Every encounter is a moral and tactical puzzle worth solving—even if it takes a few lives to get it right.
