The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You explore eerie Soviet bunkers and asylums with friends, stalked by absurd demons that taunt and charge, requiring teamwork to banish them.

What players say

Players agree Malum is a short horror game best played with friends, lasting 2 to 3 hours. The monster AI is easily exploited and some hotkeys are buggy, but the unique demon designs and cheap price give it mild appeal. Performance runs hot even on powerful GPUs.
