Maleficium 0.1.2

Low budget indie games tend to be some of the most creative around, assuming they aren't just flipping assets poorly in Unity. Without the budget to create an epic, the creators instead need to focus on one unique feature to make their games stick out. From these restrictions come some truly inventive concepts. One of them is Maleficium, which tells the story of a young woman who's troubled by strange nightmares, and discovers a mysterious tunnel system which might have something that can help her severely ill mother.

To play Maleficium, simply run the executable after unzipping it to a folder.

This game starts off with the young woman in an apocalyptic setting, walking serenely through visages of carnage and slaughter before it ends with her finding a strange ritual happening and then waking up from her nightmare.

You quickly find out what's going on with her life. She lives in a small cabin with her dog, her father, and her mother, who is severely bedridden with an illness. One day, while fetching water for her mother, she stumbles across a tunnel system and a little house. You follow her along as she enters and quickly find that everything is not as it should be. As it usually is in a horror game.

Oh, and there's also an adorable dog following her around the whole time. You can pet the dog.

All in all, if you want to play a game with an incredibly unique premise, then you should give Maleficium a download.
