Escape: Malice
Jigoku manifest. Rebuilt for you and a friend.
Jigoku manifest. Rebuilt for you and a friend.
We have rebuilt Act I of the prison. Existing Steam owners receive Malice 2.0 at no additional cost.
Enter with another unfortunate soul. Solve what has been prepared, keep each other alive and do not mistake cooperation for safety.
THE MALICE // MANY FACES
One jailer. Many faces.
The Deceiver, the Trickster and the Butcher are all the same spirit—a manifestation of the Malice, shaping each domain and tormenting the unfortunate souls trapped within.
We have rebuilt their domains. Revisit Act I of the prison with another prisoner and do not trust the shape it takes around you.
REBUILT PUZZLE LANGUAGE
Separated by design.
- Information split in twoEach player receives different journals, symbols, sounds or spatial information. Progress depends on describing what the other cannot see.
- Synchronized ritualSeasonal fans, patterned knocks, lanterns and seals demand correct timing and a shared understanding of the clues.
- Observation over guessingFamily crests, Shogi movements, elemental offerings and purification rites reward careful exploration and deduction.
- A shifting prisonLater spaces behave like enormous mechanical trick boxes: one player's lever, dial or route can transform the geometry surrounding the other.
