Mad Father

This game holds a special place in my heart because for me it's like a childhood favourite and really impacted me. I remember watching someone play this game years ago and being able to play it myself years later brought me a really sweet feeling of nostalgia. Nostalgia aside I do genuinely recommend this game and consider it something of a gem. The art is really pretty to look at, the game has a compelling story that makes you root for Aya and continue playing so that you can find out what's really going on with her father and the gameplay + puzzles are overall fun and simple but not so easy that they're boring. This game is something of a classic and if you're looking for a short and sweet pixelated horror with an interesting story told through the eyes of a young girl I would very much recommend it! You're not going to get hundreds of hours of gameplay out of it of course, but I think it's worth your time to check out. If I had to think of ANYTHING negative to say about the game I would say that I don't know how to feel about the changes made by the remake as this is a remake of course, but a lot of that was remedied for me when I opened the game and it gave me the option to play the original version. Overall I say give it a try, you'll seriously regret it if you don't! :D

My first foray into the RPG Maker Horror genre, Mad Father, was a short yet solid entry. The gameplay, consisting mainly of solving puzzles and QTEs, is relatively straightforward. There were a couple of obtuse puzzles, but nothing obtuse enough to warrant consulting a walkthrough. Although it does have a few cheap jumpscares, I was pleasantly surprised by how Mad Father created genuinely suspenseful scenes aided by the simple, almost sepulchral soundtrack. I was also impressed by the pixel art, though the same could not be said for the non-pixel art. The story is also quite simple, yet there were a few twists that really pushed my final score of the game up by a point. Even so, I'm not sure it deserves the near-universal acclaim it seems to get. It seems to be nostalgic for many, and that may be skewing the scores a little. 7/10

woah that father sure is mad huh

Whole house mad :')

mega ultra peak. also there's no way that ogre and the father aren't gay for each other.

It was an OK story imo, but still enjoyed it for its length 6/10

The father was in fact mad
