A Standalone Adventure Inspired by 20 Years of Comics

Since its debut as a webcomic in 2004, Maliki has captured the hearts of readers with its mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and expressive art — earning over 300,000 copies sold across eight volumes worldwide. Now, fans and newcomers alike can jump into this brand-new interactive journey, developed by Blue Banshee, a studio co-founded by Maliki’s creator, Souillon.

“Our goal was to create a gateway into the Maliki universe that anyone could enjoy — no prior knowledge needed,” says Souillon. “It’s a fresh beginning, filled with emotional depth, quirky charm, and comic-style expressiveness brought to life in 3D.”

With its distinct chibi-inspired visuals, Maliki: Poison of the Past retains the series’ unique tone while offering a playful and accessible RPG experience.
