MALOCH (Roblox)
A psychological horror escape game by scary robot game: you're trapped in an empty office building during a snowstorm, and something in your workplace can hear and understand you. Find fuses and key cards, descend from floor 3 to the exit on floor 1, and stay quiet doing it.
The escape route is top-down. You spawn on floor 3 and work down one sealed floor at a time until the exit on floor 1. Each floor gates progress behind fuses, a fuse box, and a floor key card with its reader - find them, deliver them, descend.
The noise rules that decide whether you live
The creature hears you - your noise meter is the difference between searching a room and starting a chase. It can also see you: quiet does not mean invisible, and your flashlight gives you away too.
| Action | Noise | Rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|
| Crouching | Quietest movement | Default to crouching whenever the creature is near |
| Walking | Louder than crouch | Fine on safe stretches; watch the meter |
| Jumping | Makes noise | Stop hopping - every jump is a tell |
| Opening doors | Makes noise | Pick a room before opening; don't pop every door |
| Voice chat | Counts as noise | Mute your mic near the creature; use short calls like "floor two, card reader" |
Real hiding spots vs office furniture
Not every desk is cover. Learn the two real hiding options before a chase forces a bad decision.
| Object | What it is |
|---|---|
| Lockers | Real hiding spots - mark their locations as you explore |
| Small benches without computers | Real hiding spots - easy to walk past |
| Filing cabinets | Search targets, not shelter - don't confuse them with lockers mid-chase |
| Desks / workstations | Not guaranteed cover - ducking under a random desk leaves you visible |
Fuses, key cards and the descent
- 1Read the opening instructions
The intro explains noise, hiding and your floor objective - skipping it means learning furniture during a chase.
- 2Search filing cabinets for the floor's items
Fuses feed fuse boxes; the floor key card opens the card reader route downward.
- 3Match item to interaction before carrying it
When you find a fuse, fix the fuse box location in your head first. When you find a card, confirm which reader it feeds. Don't haul an item without knowing its destination.
- 4Descend floor by floor
Floor 3 → floor 2 → floor 1 exit. Announce your floor number to teammates - "I found it" helps nobody who's on another level.
- 5After being caught, check inventory
A dropped key card means you already found it - check before searching the floor again. Lives are limited unless you buy the pass.
Multiplayer, badges and the paid passes
| Thing | Detail |
|---|---|
| Playing together | Group up through Roblox Party or join the same server - coordinate quietly in-game since voice chat adds noise |
| Solo | Fully playable alone and arguably easier to stay silent - no teammate footsteps |
| Badges | "Welcome" for joining, "You Escaped" for making it out - the escaped badge is the one worth chasing |
| Infinite Lives pass | 79 Robux - removes the lives limit; learn the map first, it doesn't teach you where the card reader is |
| NVG pass | 69 Robux - better vision in dark areas; useful but remember light makes you visible |
MALOCH is in active development - doors break, objectives move, and bugs are expected per the developer. If you get an access error (Error Code 524), it's usually your Roblox privacy or age settings blocking the experience, not the game being down.
FAQ
How do you escape MALOCH?
Work downward: search filing cabinets for fuses and floor key cards, deliver them to the fuse box and card reader on each floor, and reach the exit on floor 1 - all while managing noise so the creature doesn't find you.
Can the creature hear my voice?
Yes - in-game voice chat counts as noise. Keep your mic muted near it and use short floor-plus-landmark calls when you must talk.
Where do you hide?
Lockers and the small benches without computers are real hiding spots. Random desks and workstations are not reliable cover - the creature can spot you under them.
Can you play MALOCH with friends?
Yes - form a Roblox Party or join the same server. Call locations by floor number and landmark; long voice exchanges near the creature get everyone caught.
