malViolence - Definitive Edition

I love puzzles of all kinds, and the puzzles in this game were *top notch*! I am used to doing puzzle games on hard with no sweat but this was actually complex and I loved every minute of it. I highly recommend this one if you enjoy things like Danganronpa and Zero's Escape!

havent had the chance to write a proper review here (since i knew this game through itchio first) but truly this game was very enjoyable for me to finish! as someone who loves visual novels AND mystery/escape room games, malviolence ticked a lot of boxes for my puzzle-solving brain itch :D did not know theres a second (and THIRD?? GAME??) so ill make sure to check those out as well!!

Short yet emotional! The 2d art is really eye-catching, the music is fun and fitting, and the voice acting is really well done I'm not really good at the puzzles, buuuut I think that's just a skill issue on my part lol.. They're fun but I'm a bit of a dum dum when it comes to stuff like this But yeah I really enjoyed myself with this! Def gonna be checking out the prequel and the next game when it comes out.

i haven't played the prologue yet but i'm already really intrigued by this story and how the past is slowly revealed to the mc, i'm not very good at puzzles even though i love escape rooms so i appreciated the different levels and ability to skip the artstyle is also lovely, i'm looking forward to the future game already

at first i was a bit worried i wouldn't be able to solve these puzzles bc i'm notoriously bad at them, but when i really locked in (and with a little bit of chat's help sometimes) i managed to get through them all. the puzzles are very nicely designed and satisfying to solve, and i didn't expect the story to grab me so hard as it did. also I LOVE CAUTIONNE'S DESIGN

I was approached by Mado to check out the game, And I had an amazing experience. The writing in the story is really good and Cautionne and Dr. Danger are so charming. I love their voices and personality so much. I diiiiid get a bit frustrated playing on the hardest difficulty for my first 8 hour playthrough. I died... like a lot. Really brought me back to younger days of playing Sudoku books with an ink pen and realizing halfway through that I messed up halfway. All in all I had a great time. I'm playing the prequel as well!

Coming from playing the Danganronpa series as well as The Zero Escape Trilogy I thought I knew what to expect. This game has some very well made puzzles and good music to go with it. The story did catch my interest the more I played, finding tidbits of lore scattered around the rooms you explore help fill in the gaps for the story. This game has a deeper and darker tones than it lets on which kept my interest. Looking forward to the sequel .

Mado contacted me to check out their games and honestly I had a really great time playing this one! I went in blind with no expectations and I was blown away at the storytelling!! THE MUSIC!! HECK EVEN THE ART! I did have some difficulties with puzzles because I could not for the life of me solve them as I am just bad at puzzles. (You could skip them, and I forgot to do so too lol) But the story had me hooked to keep pushing through. Overall it's such a fun game and would definitely consider you checking it out for yourself 10/10
