About the Game

Once upon a time in hell...

Immerse yourself in the zany and heartfelt story of Maline, a kind devil girl from Hell who discovers the true power of Kindness one day by giving a generic demon a compliment... and the chance to truly make everyone friends! Is this a dream come true, or just another demonic swindle?

♡ Find out in the riveting, storybook-inspired adventure of "Maline!" ♡

VOLUME WARNING: This game can get loud!

Welcome to Maline!

This game serves as the prequel to SUPER UNDERWRLD, the devilish action-adventure game currently in development! Dive into Hell and go on an adventure with the titular Devil girl, Maline, as she journeys across All Hells to find people to believe in her Kindness.

Created, written, directed, drawn, and scored by one person, this game was a labor of love - assisted by the power of friendship and a myriad of gorgeous voices!!

It's chock full of INCREDIBLE AMAZING FEATURES!!! THESE JUST SCRATCH THE SURFACE!
