Templum de Malum

Templum de Malum is a point-and-click adventure about Philip, a young British aristocrat who defies his father and sets sail for uncharted lands. His father’s proper, often exasperated servant, Brimley, accompanies him. After a storm wrecks their ship on a remote island near the Middle East, Philip discovers an enormous ancient ziggurat he believes is the legendary Tower of Babel and ventures inside with Brimley’s reluctant help.

Explore the temple

You investigate the ziggurat’s forgotten chambers, examine your surroundings, collect useful items and solve puzzles. The temple holds traps, treasures, ancient secrets and clues to the Tower of Babel’s history. The puzzles rely on observation and reasoning rather than quick reflexes, and the rooms and challenges are individually crafted rather than built from repetitive encounters.

Work with Brimley

Brimley can offer hints when you get stuck, and his journal develops as the journey unfolds, recording his observations and insights. Philip’s actions can also lead to entertaining, sometimes gruesome and often humorous endings.
