Mala's developer created Meat Girl, an indie horror JRPG. The game takes you on a bizarre winter journey where remorse, meaty mushrooms, and the past merge into scares and memories.
The player seeks an old buddy named Maya, with whom they had difficulty. Angel, a strange-looking girl, appears while you wait for a bus in the icy woods. She claims to know Maya and guides you deeper into the woods for clues.
Desolate areas, mysterious items, and a sense of something more than a quest become more common as you progress.
Simple, retro 2D graphics. Game visual effects create a foggy impression of being lost in a familiar but alien world. The sound is used sparingly in gentle or repeated background sounds to create a peaceful environment.
Meat Girl doesn't explain everything, but it stimulates players to think about themselves and past individuals.
