Exorcise the infernal and exact vengeance in this unholy roguelite deckbuilder from David Gaider and Summerfall Studios. The city teems with demons and among them lies your prey: Malys, a demon of extraordinary cunning and power.
As you pick your path through the city, you’ll encounter its denizens - some friendly, some not so much, and some possessed by demons that you’ll need to exorcise. Use your deck to expose the rot within. Find unique combinations and strategies to withstand the miseries. Help the hopeless and free the possessed, or die in the attempt… over and over again.
As Noah, former priest turned exorcist and demon hunter, you’re armed with your faith and a variety of tools ranging from the holy to the dark and arcane… but you’ll need much more for this hunt, and there will be precious few allies to provide them.
Written by David Gaider (former BioWare Lead Writer on the Dragon Age series and Creative Director on Summerfall’s own Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical), Malys is our unholy roguelite deckbuilder, with a beautifully hand-illustrated style.

ALT TEXT:
Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads ‘Malys’.

Alt Text: A large demon with many holes and a large jagged mouth bathed in red light and shadow floats before an angry purple, black, and red sky in the centre of the image. Above the demon is a purple and orange swirled health bar that reads 60/70 with an attack intent icon to the left and text below reading ‘Belphegor’. Below the demon sits a tormented figure on their knees surrounded by a circle of lit candles. In the lower left corner is a black and white image of the protagonist Noah, in a trench coat, an assortment of exorcism equipment across his chest. Below him is a yellow health bar reading 90/100. In the bottom right corner of the screen are three unlit candles and a candle cost icon reading zero. Below the candles is a button reading ‘End Turn’. In the centre of the screen are four cards, each with a title, art and a symbol noting candle cost.
