Malloc();

Team Brain Surgery Production

What is this game about?

Malloc(); is an original board/puzzle game set in the world of computer hardware. In the primary storyline, player competes against the increasingly difficult AI on six boards. At the beginning of a new game, only two boards are open to the player, but more can be unlocked by winning the open levels.
The story is told mainly through the use of 3D rendered cutscenes. A computer in which the game is set becomes infected with a virus, and an antivirus is being deployed by the System Kernel to delete the malicious program. You take the role of Malloc, a young and inexperienced antivirus program, who is the last hope of the system. Each board represents an important component of a computer, such as RAM/HDD/etc., and winning against the AI signifies deleting the virus from that system component. The ultimate goal of the player is to remove the virus from the system completely by beating all six levels. After CPU level (the last one) is completed, another cutscene shows how last of the virus units are driven out. There is also a hidden randomly-generated bonus level that will be revealed to the player when storyline is completed.
Malloc multiplayer mode has the same core gameplay, but allows up to 4 people to play on the same board via LAN. There are many made maps a;ready included with the installation, and player can load custom maps from files (SDK is in development right now).
