Malevolence

I went in expecting a gimmick and found something genuinely unsettling. Malevolence is a low-poly first-person horror adventure that commits hard to 90s aesthetic: jagged geometry, chunky textures, and a deliberately artificial look that somehow makes the atmosphere more oppressive, not less. You're exploring dark, interconnected environments solving puzzles and managing limited resources while things hunt you in the dark. The control scheme is clunky by modern standards (intentionally so), which makes every movement feel vulnerable. What works: the oppressive level design and sound design create real tension. What doesn't: the story is thin, and the low-poly visuals, while intentional, can make it hard to read your surroundings sometimes. It's niche as hell and short, but if you're chasing that early survival-horror fix and don't need polished production values, Malevolence delivers the goods.
