Overview:
Malleus Maleficarum
is an adventure game mixed with some RPG elements about adventures (and misadventures!) of a young Witch Hunter, inspired by the worldbuilding of Warhammer Fantasy universe and some other fantasy settings. Still, we try to stay away from many cliches of the genre, like mindless grind, needless battle systems or lack of any meaningful events. Plus one of our main goals is to give the players the ability to forge their own journey with many different decisions impacting both the story and the gameplay.​

Team Cactus, a bug was found at program start: Cannot load library nw_elf.dll. Could you fix it?

Thanks very much, but I'd love to have more save slots if possible. There's so much branching that it would be great to have a save at multiple branch points and you have so many! What I do in other games is create folders and when I fill up saves right before scenes or decision points I put the saves into them so I can go back, save notes are also really helpful for that.

I save a lot though! :).

Have you given thought to some sort of depravity stat that we can track?
No promises about adding more save slots, but if you want, you can just always organize them in different folders yourself.
All saves are located in AppData\Local\User Data\Default\Malleus Maleficarum. Sadly I can't really make the path easier, but at least you don't have to drag and drop your saves with every new update this way.

No promises about corruption meter of sorts, mostly because I don't want to make true "pure" and "corrupted" routs. Things like "virgin run" are possible, but pure "good" and "bad" endings are a bit boring in my opinion, you'll see what I mean in the future.

Team Cactus, a bug was found at program start: Cannot load library nw_elf.dll. Could you fix it?
Check your antivirus, it may kill nw_elf.dll in some rare cases from what I can see. Try disabling it and then re-download the game.

where is the save location?
All saves are located in AppData\Local\User Data\Default\Malleus Maleficarum. Sadly I can't really make the path easier, but at least you don't have to drag and drop your saves with every new update this way.

Answer me please, then, is there a difference planned? Do I need to avoid sex scenes/letting monsters go to get what is supposed to be a good ending? And would there be a consequences of your actions later, aside from the scenes? I mean I can let go of this tentacle monster or not, but would it change something? And if MC tries to fight this demoness and get raped, would it? I'm asking because right now I have two saves, one "pure" and one "corrupted" and your answers here shows that, maybe, I need only the "corrupted" one...

Multiple routs are planned, but they will depend more on your story decisions, and less on just sex. Just not having sex at all is not going to have a much difference for now, this is only the beginning. Some scenes will change the progression and story around you, some are just skippable because you can, not because it'll change anything.

You mean game crashes right on startup or after you press "yes" to age content disclaimer? Never saw such error before, maybe your download was corrupted, try to disable antivirus if you have one and redownload the game from a different source.

it crashes randomly when i launch it. after i get that error the file deletes itself. i just re downloaded the game from another source and the result was the same, this time i was able to see part of the first conversation before it randomly closed.

Well, from what I can see looks like it's either the game eating too much memory or something, which is possible, but actually not really, let's be honest, it's PRG Maker, not a Call of Duty. Or something kills the game in the middle of extracting files as game goes on due to looking rather suspiciously. Once again, I recommend to check your antivirus.

The Epitaphs on the tombstones in the graveyard were an amazing touch! Love the game so far mate. One of the more decent games I've come across in my brief time here. Keep up the great work.
