Release Date: May 6, 2015
A scary adventure title created by Jochen Mistiaen – an independent developer from Belgium. In Malebolgia, you assume the role of Leopold who, in unclear circumstances, finds himself in a mansion built in the heart of hell. His objective is to get out of this horrid residence, which requires not only exploring the ominous palace, but also solving various puzzles and fighting bloodthirsty demons.
Malebolgia is a gloomy action horror, which draws inspiration from works of Dane Alighieri, Ars Goetia, and 20th century European culture. An independent, Belgian developer, Jochen Mistiaen, created the title.
The Italian title means the eight circle of hell described in Divine Comedy by Dante. You assume the role of an older man named Leopold who, in unclear circumstances, finds himself in a Victorian mansion built in the heart of hell. Looking for a way out, the hero meets familiar faces and a multiplicity of hellish creatures. Whether the hero gets out or not depends solely on the player.
During gameplay, you explore various locations of the ominous palace, filled with puzzles and murderous demons. Interestingly, the place of action constantly changes – as the time goes by, different locations of the mansion may pose different challenges. The hero’s arsenal is not very wide - Leopold has only a torch and a halberd with which he battles creatures and tough bosses. Moreover, the combat system is very simple – the hero can move his halberd only up and down.
Jochen Mistiaen’s production focuses on a unique atmosphere and a number of dark, mystical references. The impression is further emphasised by the cel-shaded visuals and play of light and shade.
