Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads ‘Malys’. A green banner reads 'Just launched Kickstarter'.

Time to UNLEASH HELL because our Malys Kickstarter is OFFICIALLY LIVE! 🔥

Follow the link to join the hunt and and help our hellish roguelite deckbuilder reach its full infernal potential!
