Previous versions (1.0, 1.1) classified MalO as purely a "sight-based mimic." This was a mistake. MalO does not copy what it sees. It replaces the memory of what you saw.
"In v1.1, I thought if I just blurred the eyes, I’d be safe. I was wrong. I caught it on my phone last night. It wasn’t in my room. It was in the photo. But when I looked at the photo, I heard my mother calling my name from the kitchen. She’s been dead for six years. I turned around. No one was there. But the photo? MalO was smiling now. It wasn't before. I’m releasing v1.2 to warn you: Don't turn around when you hear it. It wants you to look away from the screen. That's when it steps through."
