Summerfall Studios (a developer founded in part by Dragon Age writer David Gaider) made its debut with Stray Gods, a musical game starring modern-day adaptations of the ancient Greek pantheon. Its next game, Malys, is a massive departure in both tone and gameplay. Earlier this April, Summerfall announced a Kickstarter for this new project, but unfortunately, it failed to reach its funding goal. However, the game still entered early access this past June, and now, just a few months later, it’s hitting 1.0, launching on Steam on October 24.

This deckbuilder tells the story of Noah, a demon hunter, on his quest to slay the Malys, an evil creature with the city in a chokehold. The game’s combat encounters are exorcisms, and you’ll play and burn cards in order to expose demons’ true names and expel them from their hosts. According to a blogpost on Summerfall’s website, the 1.0 update will also include “cloud saves, a fully playable story, all three regions and the final boss fight, as well as a full scale music update across the game.”
The blog post also mentions that the price will increase slightly at launch, so if you’re interested in grabbing it cheaper (it’s currently $9.99 in the US), make sure to do so before October 24.
