About
What's that sound coming from the basement....?
is the new fever dream of a game by Sad Mask Party, the twisted brains behind Mango and The Lotus Holidays. It is a surreal, elusive, highly immersive and just slightly distorted tale of mystery, friendship, romance, solitude, trying and failing, overcoming obstacles, and all around, love.
It is presented as a first person adventure, featuring atmospheric exploration, puzzles, some fun action sequences and fights, interactive dialogue, deconstructed psychology, dreamy psychedelia, a big variety of off-beat characters, terminally weird vibes and an equal mixture of horror(ish) and humorous elements. The graphics are PS1-inspired, but with a healthy dose of surrealism and liminality.
The story starts through a dream where you meet Glitch Daddy, a strange creature informing you about the world's end coming really, really soon. You go on to wake up, and embark on a wild journey where the truth will be revealed, through a series of weird, unexpected twists and turns.
Drenched in a thick vibe of nostalgia, Glitch Daddy seamlessly jumps from the memories of an idealized childhood, to a complicated adulthood, and the cosmic, deconstructed dreamscapes of a timeless oblivion.
Also, you get to kill monsters and pet doggos. ;)

Glitch Daddy is Bae! I really loved this game, it's trippy and weird. But definitely to short. I can recommend it wholeheartedly. Gönnt euch
Another absolutely stellar game from Sad Mask Party, I think the might be my favorite indie game developer, every single game from them is just absolutely gorgeous. This one really does feel like a lovely mashup of Mango and The Lotus Holidays in a way, while also still being its own thing. I laughed, I cried (one of the conversations really got me), I jumped a few times, I love it! I know I probably didn't fully understand the narrative (I'm honestly not that bright), but this still kinda hits hard at times even without full knowledge, and I know it'll stick with me.
挺不错的 [strike]被封面的神秘电视头男吸引而来[/strike] 玩了主要结局 虽然没大搞明白想要表达什么但是莫名地有被鼓励到??? 也许是把一些各种各样的情绪搅和搅和加点艺术成分后的成品吧233 画面有点点简陋但很多场景又很有美感呢www 音乐一点印象都没有?!? [spoiler]不知道是不是我梦2记玩多了老感觉很多场景一股梦日记的味hhh[/spoiler] [spoiler]游戏内的中文莫名戳我笑点 有种把日本平假名片假名单拎出来作为装饰的美感[/spoiler] (挺不错一小游戏b站上居然没人玩)
I like it. I agree with most of the reviews.
Dude, please make more games. I've played all of your games, they're amazing. I'll buy all of your games.
overall interesting and surreal game. i think i liked mango more, but thats just a preference. i loved the visuals and music here, and it is a more polished game. it actually felt like i was playing through a dream, which is impressive that this game was able to capture that only thing is i would like resolution options in the settings because i cannot see the bottom dialogue option because of my widescreen monitor, didnt ruin the game but a tad annoying : (
j'ai adoré, un petit walking sim avec de l'aventure, des phases d'énigmes et de l'action! quelques petits ennemis par-ça par là. l'ambiance est toujours aussi surréaliste, les personnages aussi aléatoire les uns des autres, le développeur nous emmène dans son monde psychédélique, accrochez-vous, si vous aimez le genre Mango, vous allez aimer ce jeu.
Nice improvements compared to the developer's previous titles, the direction is good. I hope to see his future projects becoming even better.
This game was an incredible ride. If you're into random indies, this is a game you wanna snag. I got a good almost 3 hours of game play out of this and there are multiple endings for those who like to do completion runs.
A musthave for any aspiring weirdcore gamecollector!
