Happy April folks! We hope you survived April Fools okay.
We come bearing news!
Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical
First of all, as we mentioned in our 2024 sign off, Stray Gods will always be adored by us, but won't be receiving any further updates at this time. However, this doesn't mean we don't have more potential Stray Gods surprises in the pipeline... but no news just yet!
We'll always be in touch here to let you know about anything new and exciting and Stray Gods related, but for the next little while, our focus is on what's next - and with that...
Today we're unbelievably thrilled to announce Malys, coming this year and coming soon to Kickstarter!
If you've been paying attention on our socials, you might've noticed we've been teasing something for a little while. As Noah, former priest turned exorcist and demon hunter, you ride the streets of a festering city in the dead of night. The city teems with demons, and among them lies your prey: Malys, a demon of extraordinary cunning and power. Use your deck to expose the rot within. Find unique combinations and strategies to withstand the horrors. Help the hopeless and free the possessed, or die in the attempt… over and over again.
FAQS
If you're signed up to our newsletter you might've seen us address some questions from players, but just in case you missed it...
Is Malys set in the Stray Gods universe?
Malys is a brand new adventure in a brand new world. We're leaving Stray Gods on the shelf for now, but not necessarily forever.
Will there be romance in Malys?
There aren't any planned romance mechanics for Malys at this time. There is absolutely yearning.
There will always be yearning.
Is Malys a musical?
Malys is not a musical, but music and sound will always be core to the games we make. We aren't saying we'll never go back to the musical format, but we're excited to explore new genres as a team.
Why a roguelite deckbuilder?
Honestly? If you've played or read anything by our creative director David Gaider, you probably know he loves demons. What you might not know is that he also loves deckbuilders. It’s a game genre that David is a real fan of. Malys is a concept that's been burning away in Dave for a long time - just like Stray Gods existed conceptually way back when he worked at Bioware. We wanted to take our love for characters and genre-twisting stories to tackle a brand new adventure, and that adventure is Malys.
Just like we brought Stray Gods to Fig, we're now bringing Malys to Kickstarter in a few weeks. We know that working with all of you to get feedback and collaborate on the final phase of development is going to give Malys the best chance of success. With your help, we can work with you through the Kickstarter to allow us to get a full 1.0 in your hands within the next six months of this campaign launching.
We need you to make Malys a reality in Summerfall's continued goal of creating amazing character driven, story focused, comprehensive single player experiences free of microtransactions and never-ending roadmaps.
