It's easier to change difficulty with this new update!Surprise, everyone! It's a new malViolence update.
We've received a few comments about making the difficulty change more obvious - so we've done just that.
If you're playing
malViolence for the first time,
the difficulty selection will now be in the pop-up menu that appears just before the game starts!
Additionally, with saves made after this update, there will be a difficulty indicator in the top-right corner of your save screenshot. That way, you can track the difficulty of your save files.
However, saves made before this update won't have this indicator. Please keep this in mind!
Also... I don't know if I mentioned this, but I removed the
malViolence puzzle guide from the game's folder.
This was for two reasons:
Please thank Brian for his hard work - he deserves a round of applause and more!
If you still want a copy of the official guide for yourself, you can download it from here.
Anyway, that's all for now! Please enjoy this new update...

[ 2023-05-31 19:29:18 CET ] [ Original post ] Achievements, FailSafes, and Fixes, Oh My!Alright - a new malViolence build is here for you to play!
We took a look at user feedback through reviews both here and on Itch.io, and we've added a couple of new fixes and features to make puzzling much more pleasant.
Here's what's new:
- All achievements in-game should now display correctly!
- Room 1's marble animations are now fixed!
- Tooltips have been added to a couple of selections on the Options Menu...
...which leads me to our biggest announcement - "Failsafes!"
If you want the authentic malViolence puzzling experience, but don't want the looming threat of a Game Over - check the "Failsafe" option in the Options Menu. You can find it under the "Puzzle Skip" option.
When you check this button - most of the puzzles will gain a Reset button, and all puzzle-related game-overs will be gone. That way, you can enjoy the puzzles at your own pace.
We hope you enjoy this new update!

[ 2023-05-21 23:21:46 CET ] [ Original post ] Panopticon Achievement Fix!Exactly what it says on the tin. Now the panopticon will count towards difficulty-related achievements.
Also, expect more fixes and small QOL tweaks in the coming days! Me and my team are currently adding a reset button for the evidence board puzzle, among other things.

I, the great Cautionne, Disciple of Danger and Emperor of MalViolence, am holding you as my latest test subject.'Course,
you trespassed on my lair first, so it’s not like you can complain.

I get it. You
wanted something from me. Or your boss did. Or your boss’s boss did.
So how about we make a deal?

You solve my escape rooms, do a little lab work, consult on a deadly trap or two, and I'll let you leave scot-free. Doesn't that sound nice?
But before you go, let me give you some advice...
Don't make any mistakes.Because if you do - you're not gonna like what happens next. 
- A gripping, villainous scenario written by Mado, Of The Devil's Brian Mulholland, and Z.
- Escape rooms with several brain-bending puzzles, crafted by speck and Artificial Selection's KigyoDev.
- 3 main endings and even more bad endings.
- Animated, speaking CGs: all drawn by Mado!
- Partial voice-acting by the talented Carrick Inabnett and Vyn Vox, with the direction of Very Berry Studio's Phebe Fabacher!
- Gorgeous, rendered backgrounds by Reina!
- A slick UI by spicaze!
- An 100% original soundtrack by Melo-dii and Doran.
- Audio mastering and mixing by Cooking Companions' D.ray!
- An eye-catching trailer by Mado and jennymhulla!
- 1 cute mad scientist with a hidden agenda…
