Evaluation
Malediction is a student project developed over 8 months by Desert Beagle Studios, explicitly described as the team's "first little project." It launched on December 31, 2019 as a self-contained experience completable in 30 minutes to 1 hour, with three levels and no post-launch content ever announced or implied. The launch post mentioned the possibility of bug-fix patches but made no promises of new content. There has been no developer communication since launch day, and the store description openly identifies this as a student project — strongly suggesting it was shipped as a finished, standalone product with no intent for ongoing development. This game launched complete.

About this game
Malediction is a third-person puzzle/platformer that gives you the ability to control space and time! Play as Morgan, an impulsive, yet curious, wizard whose experiments often get him into trouble. This time, a cloning spell has backfired and his duplicates have run off with most of his magic. You must now chase them through three enchanted levels of a warped, Renaissance-inspired city. Manipulate your environment with telekinesis and time stop/reversal powers to overcome obstacles put before you by the dastardly clones. When you catch up to them, defeat them in battle to regain your powers. Developed by Desert Beagle Studios as an 8-month long student project.
