About

On the eve of the anniversary of her mother’s death, Aya reflects on the past. Sad, lonely, and desperate for something to help her relive happier times, Aya asks her father if they can do something special in memory of her lost mother. Aya’s father agrees and puts her to bed, promising to make tomorrow a better day. But this fleeting glimpse of light is quickly extinguished when Aya is jolted from her slumber by the sound of her father screaming. She jumps out of bed and runs to find her father, only to find the once-peaceful and somber home now littered with corpses and other horrors. Will Aya end up reuniting with her mother in the most horrific way imaginable at the hands of the undead hordes? Will she manage to escape the manor together with her father’s assistant, Maria? Or will she somehow manage to save her father from the unknown terrors awaiting her around every turn?
Mad Father is an exploration-based horror-adventure game, created by Japanese developer sen.
As Aya, the main character, explore your family’s sprawling manor while making use of the items you find along the way and doing whatever you can to survive the night.
AyaThe young heroine of the story. She consciously avoids getting too close to her father's "research", and does her best to remain blissfully unaware of what her father’s work may entail...
Father Aya's father. Night after night, he performs horrific experiments in the basement of the family mansion.
MotherAya's late mother. She passed away exactly a year before the story begins.
MariaAssistant to Aya's father.
OgreA mysterious salesman who suddenly appears before Aya, seemingly out of nowhere...

GemsCrucial items in the game which can be found hidden in various places.
Finding all of them will be tough, but well worth the effort...
Multiple endingsThere are three possible endings to the game.
The ending you are shown will depend on your actions.
CorpsesUndead spirits out to attack Aya. If caught, she will gradually lose stamina, and the game will end.
Corpses armed with weapons can kill Aya with a single blow, so be careful.

Mad Father reviews and comments

When it was released on steam, the game had problems with saves and crashes, but they are solved. I never played the free version, but I loved Mad Father! A great little game with a scary atmosphere.

Pros: ~ Very well done, little RPG Maker game from the House of uri Games ~ matching, if sometimes very eerie music ~ Puzzles are actually very easy to solve, even if sometimes should have been quietly heavier ~ Preis/. Performance I find perfectly ok for regular e €4.99~ Different Endings additionally provide Replay value ~ Graphic is accordingly in, I note once whipped up "Pokemon style," yet I find that does the Atmosphere nothing off ~ Steamer achievements and Collectible cards are available ~ Jumpscares are available ~ Jumpscares are Very well implemented, sometimes it's the smallest Details that are enough for Big Eyes and a Goosebump >. < | ... Čontras: ~ The Game is set in English when Buying KOMPLETT, so unfortunately there is no such Thing as a German Language Option!! Caution!! ~ You are not allowed to ask for 9 Hours of Content. My 1st Pass Was after 2 1 | 2 Hours through. In itself, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try RPG Makers. Highly recommended: 3

Mad Father is a small but fine Horror Game with an exciting Story and lots of creepy Elements. The Puzzles, Tasks and quick time events are not very difficult and also suitable for Casual Gamers. As a result, the whole Game is also relatively short. It took me about 5.6 Hours to Play all the Ends and all the Successes. Purchase Recommendation in Sale for €2.99Short on the Story In Mad Father We experience the Story of the Girl Aya Drevis, who lives with her Parents in the North of Germany a Villa. After the death of the Mother, her Father, who is a scientist, buries himself even more in his Work and hardly gets out of his Lab at all. One Night, which our Protagonist spends lonely again in her Room, she hears a loud Scream. Concerned for her Father, she makes her way to the Lab. On the Way, however, she has to realize that a supernatural Force has brought her Father's Experiments back to Life and they now want revenge on him. Despite the Resentment against Aya'S Father, however, not all of these Beings are hostile to our Protagonist and some even help us as the Game progresses. The Further we penetrate into the Villa, the more we also trace the dark Machinations of our Father. Are we Addressing the grisly Truth? Can and most importantly Does Aya even want to save her Father? Even though the Story is set in Germany, it is nevertheless a classic "Revenge of a Dead Woman" Storyline of a Japanese Horror Film + The RPG maker graphics harmonizes well with the Anime-style drawn images of the Cutcenes and CGs + coherent Background Music and sound Effects make the already creepy atmosphere perfect + several Ends that not only vary slightly but have completely different Directions and can stand well on their own + Tasks, Puzzles and Quick-time events Make for a good Change and are not too heavy + Achievements are feasible with strategic Storage in one Pass + beautifully designed Maps, Backgrounds and Emoticons +/-the few set Sentences sound quite ok to +/-enough ingame Memory Points are But I personally don't like it if you can't save where and when you want +/-The Playing Time is quite ok in relation to The Price-Only 5 Storage Spaces-Jump Scares (but not many and no bad but for me that's a Negative Point) The Rating is Just drags on the Steam Version of the Game as I never played the free version.
