David Gaider wants to make a new RPG and, with credits that include the original Baldur's Gate games, Dragon Age: Origins through Inquisition, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, it's no secret as to why. Gaider's writing has launched franchises, paved the way for the romance systems we see in games like Baldur's Gate 3 and, in many ways, changed the way that we approach narrative-focused videogames. But before we get another big RPG, there's Malys, an "unholy roguelike deckbuilder" that oozes high gothic elegance. Cast as Noah, a former priest turned exorcist, your job is to hunt down the titular demon and bring about its end in the most bloody way possible. It's a marked shift in tone from Summerfall Studios' first game, Stray Gods, but it doesn't skimp on style.
