Give in to the temptations of the flesh. Explore the oceans beyond the firmament. Get lost in the cosmic void of the self. Ascend the throne of the Sun.
A roguelike monster-catching dungeon crawler where the only way to heal is eating your allies.

All Malvanean screenshots are a work in progress! Many things are still subject to change...
The Hurlewain is the essence of enamel, the element that hardens teeth and sharpens claws and imbues mundane steel with mystical life. A clump, a growth, almost more of a resource than a being, the Hurlewain is often created by alchemists as intermediary step to other creatures.

Our lead writer has been working on a small side project, and if it seems even remotely your thing you should check it out. If you buy the game on physical disc, you also get the game assets + a license to use them for your own projects (even commercial!)

The Devaputra is the essence of Myiasis, the principle of flesh turning other flesh into more of itself. Distilled to its essence like this it is virulently dangerous, ceaselessly copying itself. It eats, it infects and it impregnates until all flesh in a space is more Devaputra.

PRISON OF HUSKS is in the STEAM SCREAM FEST!
Explore a beautiful world of forgotten dolls in the demo. Find the horrors that wander the lonely places in my retro-soulslike!
The Argentonymus is a sort of "abyssal mirror life," life naturally occurring deep inside reflections. Bringing it into the real world requires the refining of silver into its purest essence, where it is prized by cultists of Chazakiel, a fallen angel associated with reflections.
The Embryon is what remains of the prime matter of flesh when all else is stripped away from it. It shambles around, resembling a humanoid- though it lacks every single trait of a human save for 'the flesh.' For alchemists, the Embryon is a blank slate on which to build new life.
The Ficus Genetrix is an example of a Myiasis-type demon, a demon symbolizing how organisms turn other organisms into more of themselves, in this case inspired by the life cycle of the common fig or Ficus Carica
Older lore post about the Ficus Genetrix:

One thing we don't want to do with Malvanean is use elements like 'fire,' 'air' or 'water.' Plenty of games have fire attacks. Few games have attacks based on an element symbolizing the process by which the larvae of the wasp turn the flesh of the caterpillar into more wasps.
As such the 'Myiasis' element is a corpus element symbolizing the often predatory way in which life turns other life into more of itself. Myiasis-type attacks infest enemies with bugs under their skin. Myiasis spells heal you by drawing on another's health- be it enemy or ally.
