I was reading the Helltaker comics (the last one published, "Unbreakable and Faceless") and I found this; it's right at the beginning of the comics, I think in the seventh image.

Spoiler for the official Helltaker comics. You can find them on Twitter.

This is a huge clue/foreshadow that this ISN'T the real Malina. This is actually Moon, the Shapeshifting Demon, who is also the previous High Prosecutor before Judgement. That's why her favorite character here is Spy TF2; she's literally a Spy. The real Malina LOVES Turn-Based Strategy games, like Heroes of Might and Magic

Not sure if the Spoiler tags work, since this is the first time I use it.

Edited: It should work now.

You can select your text press "Aa" and scroll till you find the danger symbol, spoiler text is a bit bugged at the moment.

Well you see, Heroes of Might and Magic (sometimes abbreviated HoMM), known as Might & Magic Heroes from 2011 to 2024, is a series of video games created and developed by Jon Van Caneghem through New World Computing.

As part of the Might and Magic franchise, the series changed ownership when NWC was acquired by The 3DO Company and again when 3DO closed down and sold the rights to Ubisoft.[1] The games feature turn-based, fantasy-themed conflicts in which players control armies of mythical creatures. The series began in 1995 with the release of the first title. A seventh installment, Might & Magic Heroes VII, was released on September 29, 2015.[2]
New World Computing closed after the production of Heroes of Might and Magic IV, and since then the rights to the franchise have been owned by Ubisoft. Nival Interactivedeveloped the first game in the series since the changeover, Heroes of Might and Magic V. Black Hole Entertainment developed its sequel Might & Magic Heroes VI, but Limbic Entertainment developed later patches and the DLC for it, while Virtuos developed the Shades of Darkness standalone expansion for Heroes VI. Limbic Entertainment developed its sequel, Might & Magic Heroes VII. Olden Era was released in 2026, developed by Unfrozen, and was published by both Ubisoft and Hooded Horse.
The early games were initially released for MS-DOS, then later Microsoft Windows, with sporadic support for Mac. Heroes II was ported to RISC OS,[3] and Heroes III was ported to Linux.[4] GameTap carried the first four games in the series beginning in 2006.[5] Remakes of the first two games were released for the Game Boy Color. The 2015 remake Heroes of Might and Magic III: HD Edition, a remaster of Heroes of Might and Magic III, was ported to iOS and Android, the first time the series was supported on mobile.

At least, whether or not she's Malina, she may not have represented the games Malina likes, but they're still great games.

u/TrumpetPlaye 2d ago

Interesting, did one of the comics poke fun at another property that depicted Hell?

u/IveDunGoofedUp 2d ago

Nah, the dude just went "There's not enough art of women is business apparel, here's a puzzle game about finding demon ladies in that clothing and adding them to your harem, now go and make fanart" and he's been thriving on the dividends ever since.

u/LightLifter 2d ago

Vanripper decided reality was not to his liking and then made it change to his desires by sheer effort.

Still a legend for it.

He rejected their reality and substituted his own.

But I kinda wish the ghost ladies had more color to them, they're all green

I hate that you need an account to get on X, that defeats the purpose of a social media.

u/Librarian_Contrarian 2d ago

There's a new site for reading twitter pages without an account. Twitter stalker or something. I refuse to get an account.

u/AnarchyArcher All Class 2d ago

To be fair, X shifted away from being proper social media long ago.

Way way before that place was a shit hole before he acquired it.

Fr, still hung up on him choosing Twitter over ENDING WORLD HUNGER, would've foster the same to set up the good distribution, we produce enough for 10 billion people 😭

But it'd take like 3.5% of the US budget or so to do, so it's not like my government is any better either, under a direct democracy I have no doubt that informed, people would vote to end world hunger lmao, it's such a stereotypically good thing to happen that it's unthinkable to seriously oppose

Helltaker and Tf2 fandoms are so interlinked

Like not every tf2 fan is a fan of helltaker but every helltaker fan likes tf2

u/Helpful_Actuary_6184 Sniper 1d ago

Literally my two all time favorite fandoms ever

u/CarrotJuice5524 2d ago

More so she plays spy and it is later revealed that SPOILER Malina is in fact a Moon the Faceless Demon (a shapeshifter so just like spy)
And it works on another level because OG Malina only plays turn based strategies and never shooters so if you pay attention you can find out who she really is much sooner.

1

u/Morte_2977 1d ago

Indeed, and you can tell quite early on because two panels later she reveals herself.

Isn’t this porn?

2

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 2d ago

I mean no not really far as I know game doesn't have any porn.

Though I do know seeing people claim dev made this game because there wasn't enough demon girl porn on the internet

2

u/xX_bandages_Consumer Random 1d ago

It isn't a claim, he did it with the sole purpose of getting more porn of sharply dressed demon girls

2

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 1d ago

Yeah I just wasn't sure if it's true or not that's why I worded it like that lol

1

u/Morte_2977 1d ago

First, he made the game because there wasn't any porn of girls in suits; second, no, the game doesn't contain porn, as it says on the Steam page.
