About This Game

NEON-DRENCHED HORROR

The year is 1998, and 'MALCADE' has been a growing hit amongst arcades due to it's rudimentary 3D graphics, mind-blowing virtual reality functions for the era, and fast-paced violent premise. The surprise hit is popping up in arcades all across the country... but the sleek new cabinet hides a darker secret... a glitch that was never quite patched out of the game. You've been hired to fix it.

PLAY TO SURVIVE

You’re trapped in a malfunctioning arcade game. How do you survive? By beating the arcade games scattered around the facility, winning tickets, using them to unlock the path forward, and to keep moving. Every second inside of the machine counts, every death leaves a mark. The longer you stay, the harder it gets to exit as you were. Something’s in here with you... and it doesn’t want you to leave. It's been hungry for far too long.

ESCAPE OR BE CONSUMED

MALCADE is a short horror game designed to feel like a playable 90s b-tier horror movie. Find yourself thrown into the middle of a spiraling government conspiracy, a game filled with organic machinery, and a surreal retro science-fiction narrative as a mundane repair job becomes an electronic nightmare.
