YouTube video by FrankieSmileShow Malison: The Cursed City

After watching a couple developer streams (VODs on Twitch here), I think I'm doubly excited for Malison: The Cursed City.

Look Outside was one of 2025's best RPGs. It was made in a few months, and expanded over another few.

It was a side-project from Malison, which has been in the works 12+ years.

yo, look at those sick UNION JOBS

Good morning!
