Yo ho! So much piratey fun and fantastic puzzles. Hopefully many more adventures to come! 

An extraordinarily original game in every way! The writing gives so much depth to the story and characters with such efficiency, and never feels like "writing". The sound design is terrifying, and keeps you hanging on every word and room change. And the art is both perfectly unnerving and full of incredibly effective animations (the waving wheat, the ground getting close). What a wonderful piece!

A really addictive game, and so well made! Fantastic work!

What a wonderfully moody, unnerving world you've created. It's really refreshing to have such a passive tone in such a cataclysmic genre, and being caught in between cosmic-level helplessness and the adventure-game genre's need to act is a really fascinating mix! 

I really hope you continue to develop this game. You're clearly a great world and character builder, and I think if you can iron out the bugs, make the interface a bit more responsive, and hold the player's hand a little less, this will be an incredible experience!

And good luck at MAGS! You should make a game page for this on the forums so more people can see it!

I reached 12700 and now my mouse needs a new battery!

Fantastic—Thanks for playing!

A walkthrough is available now! Let me know if it helps

Thank you for playing! Great to hear you enjoyed it, and that the balance of Sierra-ity is right. Part two is in progress!

I can't express how much I loved this game. Everything that an adventure game can do right, Mallicious does in spades.

The concept, story, writing, art, music, characters, puzzles, red herrings, the ending - all of it was just perfect. Every character was spectacularly written and brought to life. The parody, the commentary, the dialog. It's so hard to talk about how outstanding everything was without spoilers!

I never wanted to leave that wonderful mall. Thank you for sharing this incredible game with the world!

Oh I see! I should have mentioned this in the original post. Yes that's the goal—I'm very eager to finish it!

How do you mean? This was for a one-month game challenge, so there was only time to create the first part.
