raising creative thinkers

Keep an eye on this one. I have a feeling that when (or if) the final build arrives, we’ll look back on this early, janky version with genuine nostalgia. For now, go chase the pink dragon. Just don’t be surprised if it chases you back. [Itch.io / Malerouille’s page - check their official channels] Estimated playtime: 20–45 minutes of confusion, wonder, and one genuine jump scare involving a chair.

Have you played the early build? Did you find the hidden room behind the third waterfall? Let me know in the comments—or don’t. I’m still not sure if that room was real.

It tells me that someone out there is still trying to make games that feel like dreams you can’t wake up from.

If the name Malerouille sounds familiar, it’s likely from their previous experiments in surreal horror or absurdist simulation. But Daggan Pink ? This feels like something else entirely. Let’s be clear upfront: this is an early build . We’re not talking about a polished demo or a beta. This is the digital equivalent of peeking into an artist’s sketchbook. The textures glitch. The physics sometimes have a mind of their own. The UI occasionally screams at you in placeholder font.

There’s a special kind of magic in stumbling across a game so raw, so unpolished, and yet so brimming with potential that you can’t stop thinking about it. I just had that experience with Daggan Pink -Early Build- , the latest curiosity from the wonderfully weird mind of Malerouille .

From what I can piece together, Daggan Pink seems to be a first-person… exploration game? A psychological horror? A walking simulator through a fever dream? The answer is probably "yes."

And I love it.
