malViolence - Definitive Edition

play this game to get a free son you now have to protect forever. 10/10 - would escape again

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!!

absolutely FAN-FRICKIN-TABULOUS!! amazing story lines, and the puzzles are like the perfect dificulty. keep up the good work!!

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

I haven't even finished this game, but I know how much I want to come back to it! The art, voice acting, and puzzles really intrigues me to keep going. Can't wait to keep diving deep!

I really enjoyed malViolence. The art style is gorgeous and immediately drew me in, and the main character was super fun to follow throughout the story. The puzzles were okay and didn’t always stand out as much as the narrative, but they never took away from the overall experience. The story and presentation were strong enough to keep me engaged the whole way through. Overall, a very positive experience and an easy recommendation, especially if you enjoy story-heavy visual novels.
