Evaluation
Malum launched on September 2, 2021 and received a steady stream of updates in its first months: balance patches, a progression system, a Halloween update with new characters and items, and a new intro level in February 2022. The most substantial post-launch addition was the Escape Room level added on October 16, 2023, which brought new puzzle-based gameplay, improved character movement, and a UI refresh. Since that update, there have been no further patches or content announcements for Malum itself. The most recent news post, from June 10, 2026, is a promotional announcement for the developer's entirely new game — a cozy tavern management title called Rekindled: Cozy Tavern Life — with no mention of any planned future work on Malum. The gap between the October 2023 Escape Room update and the June 2026 announcement (with nothing in between for Malum) strongly suggests that development on Malum has wound down. The developer's attention has clearly moved on to a new project. No unreleased DLC is listed, no roadmap or future content has been announced, and no developer statement promises additional Malum content.

About this game
Malum is a co-op horror survival game for 1-4 players (but best enjoyed with friends). Explore abandoned soviet bunkers, dank sewers, insane asylums and more all while being stalked by a gruesome (and often ridiculous) collection of demons.
Assemble a squad and explore the world’s darkest corners, each with its own resident evil. Find the clues and assemble artifacts to summon a weapon powerful enough to blast the Demons back to where they came from.
Each Demon has its own set of abilities and twisted logic. Some taunt and trap while others scream and charge. You’ll have to learn their strengths and weaknesses in order to evade them until you have that weapon in your hands. And when you do... the only thing they’ll fear is you.
Features
