Game Classification

Arc & Malice is a short platformer with a Victorian theme. The player commands a sergeant called Olaf who winds up at a mansion after a long voyage. He needs to travel through different locations to confront a final enemy. All characters, enemies and objects in the environment are black, while the background is the only coloured element in the game.

Olaf is able to move around, jump and pick up items. Most of these are keys that are needed to unlock doors. He can also attack, along with special abilities such as a forward and downward thrust, wall jumping and blocking. Often he needs to locate hidden passages to progress. Enemies include different types of monsters and bats. These sometimes leave behind blue orbs that restore health. Olaf can also heal himself by praying at statues. The game includes a tutorial to get familiar with the controls. [source:mobygames]
