Mystery of the Malign

I am absolutely in love with the nostalgia and vibes of this, while also gathering up all the various pieces of the puzzles and putting everything together. The game keeps surprising me with the turns its taking, and I'm having an absolute blast going along for the ride. It's so much more than I expected, and best experienced with as little info as possible. If you like the genre, you'll like this. I only wish I could move a bit faster, the "running" is dreadfully slow, but also fits the aesthetic so I'm not too mad.

Really enjoyed this! Thankful that there's multiple ways to solve things and that very little is missable. Thank you to those who create guides--they helped me find small things I was missing!

a very good obra'dinn when I see one !

I really enjoyed my time with this game. For what little there is, it's a surprisingly thorough and logical detective game. However it's very clearly unfinished. The ending is very abrupt and unsatisfying. This game feels like the opening chapter of a much larger experience that was abandoned. I can see why. There is an impressive commitment to the deductive reasoning in this game, that was likely exhausting to maintain for what i assume to be a very small team of devs. I would really love to see more from gameplay supremacy. Clearly a lot of talent on display here.

Very well made. Super good atmosphere, I loved exploring the environments in this game. Some of the puzzles are difficult at first but eventually everything falls into place.

Excellent detective game, requires you to actually apply deduction and common sense instead of being spoonfed. Very similar to Obra Dinn, includes many of the same strengths and mechanical weaknesses.

Such an awesome and solid mystery game. Requires some real thought and actual logic, but it's also not so punishing as to be impossible; a lot of puzzles you can solve by approaching it from a few different angles, and the game is built well enough to avoid most cases of missing clues or items entirely. There's a ton of bonus worldbuilding that gives you the sense of living in a full, fleshed out world even though you only see a few rooms of it. Also the characters are really funny - to be a fly on the wall in Christofer and Emely's house; how on earth did they get together?? Totally recommend for anyone who wants a tightly-written and rewarding mystery puzzle game.
