Summerfall Studios announces roguelite deckbuilder Malys

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical developer Summerfall Studios has announced Malys, a roguelite deckbuilder currently in development. Platforms and a release date were not announced, but a Kickstarter campaign will launch soon with the goal of “[getting] a full 1.0 in your hands within the next six months of this campaign launching.”

Here is an overview of the game, via Summerfall Studios:

About

Exorcise the infernal and exact vengeance in this unholy roguelite deckbuilder from David Gaider and Summerfall Studios. Choose your path and strengthen your deck of arcane tricks. Expose, endure, and expel evil from the innocent possessed. Confront your past, forge precarious alliances, and uncover the truth.

As Noah, former priest turned exorcist and demon hunter, you ride the streets of this festering city in the dead of night. The city teems with demons, and among them lies your prey: Malys, a demon of extraordinary cunning and power. Use your deck to expose the rot within. Find unique combinations and strategies to withstand the horrors. Help the hopeless and free the possessed, or die in the attempt… over and over again.

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 a unique take on a familiar genre, pushing the boundaries of roguelite storytelling and delivering a satisfyingly moody experience.
