Madness inside

稳扎稳打的作品。在PT跟风作大行其“无指引舔图”之道的环境下，能找到愿意考虑玩家体验的作品实属难得。有的放下身段承认能力有限把指引给够，而本作却意外做到了无指引不卡关。具体做法是，微量关卡设计+整体线性的流程+一片片小区域循序渐进的推进，很轻松地规避掉玩家被扔进大地图里无头苍蝇似乱逛的情形。精神分裂的剧情很无聊，追逐战连敌人实体都不做很寒酸。不过本作的JS不全是实体，还包含相当多的音效，比如未知敌人的怪叫、类似牙医器械的链锯声等，有一定新意。总之，能吓人+不卡关就是值得一个好评（除了最后要和亮灯的墓碑交互不明显）。PT已经是十年前的作品了，求求你们整点花活吧。 说下部分成就怎么解锁： Good Ending - 章节三输入数三角形的挂锁密码后，不要掉到坑里面去。很恶心的一个QTE，我是从主角一开始贴边就狂点左键然后莫名其妙过了。所谓好结局只是一段文字叙述，非常敷衍。 What do you want here? - 章节六开始后别进门，掉头走到底。 A true connoisseur of art - 章节七墓园，盯着出口右侧一处雕塑看。 Welcome Back - 开二周目，重载章节一即可。

в 3 главе когда нужно нажимать на левую кнопку мыши, происходит херь, что ты не успеваешь нажимать и после этого игра просто зависает, разработчик исправляй

Хоррор не страшный от слова совсем! Он больше вызывает смех от абсурда, который там происходит. Было несколько скримеров, которые действительно заставили вздрогнуть, но они настолько кривые, что после испуга начинается смех. Сюжет про безумие, конечно, не плохой, но его исполнение очень хромает. В общем, игру я не рекомендую от слова совсем. Вы можете брать только по ОЧЕНЬ большой скидке, и то помните, что она даст совершено не тот опыт, который вы ждете. 1 из 10 скримеров...

"do you want demons in your hospital? 'cause that's how you get demons in your hospital" - the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ protagonist, probably Symbolism can be a treacherous road to walk down, because if you try too hard to leave a message in your work, sometimes it comes off obnoxious, or too obscure to notice. If you don't try hard enough, people might find the message doesn't hold well in relation to the plot. That's what makes a good story - when everything links to the overarching story. Madness Inside is another game from ZV Games, who are committed to delivering a fun experience by way of what might be considered the classic spookhouse aesthetic with scripted scares that are maybe a tad *too* rigid in their scriptedness. At one point I turned too late while walking backwards and the entity that was stalking me was stuck staring at me until I walked back and freed it from its confines by angling the camera just right and standing in the right position. The atmosphere carries quite well, and there were times where the little jumps actually did get a reaction from me. In terms of actual fear factor, the game wasn't particularly unsettling. Not to mention, the protagonist kills the fear by holding your hand through most of the game - by this, I mean that the character will often tell you where you can find your next objective. Some puzzles aren't quite as obvious as others, but they're manageable. I want to say that sometimes less is more, and for the "torture" section, which lasts around five minutes (not to mention, it's not in English, so if you don't speak Russian, be prepared to read and follow the subtitles closely because they'll be a pop quiz) - it felt like there was a bit too much going on. Perhaps that's simply my shoddy attention span, especially as the questions seem to just be you repeating what was said back to them in your answers. Graphically, it's about average for an indie horror, especially for a newer dev. I think the game carries with it a certain promise in that some animations were quite detailed, and there's a potential there in the story-telling, even if it's not the most uncommon plot. There are a few cliches, but the psychology parts show a clear respect for research, which I find commendable. I think Madness Inside is a game that I would've enjoyed more had it really *grabbed* me, but I never felt grabbed, mostly because it's rather short, and feels like it's trying to push you through each section with menial tasks that usually include a scare or two. Again, there's promise here - I just think there could be a little more done, especially when there are quite a few bugs, including one where during a chase scene, the monster that's meant to be chasing you disappears after the first stretch of corridor. Not brilliant, but the fact I can see something worth developing here is enough to give it a 4/10.

The game is super generic, from the mental hospital setting to the story itself - I promise you'll guess the ending 2 minutes into the game. The jumpscares are predictable and several times I was triggering things while looking at a different direction, so I heard sounds but didn't see exactly what was happening. This being said, it's also interesting. It's fun to explore the mental hospital and find out exactly what happened. It's good enough if you get it on sale.

Decent little horror game.

Cheap jumpscares. You can pretty much guess when a jumpscare is going to happen. Most of the time they trigger when you're looking in the wrong direction, so I was just hearing stuff and not seeing anything most of the time. It has some sticky notes and folders around to tell the story, but there isn't much to learn about the place. Story is quite lacking. Generic setting, with a lot of cheap sounds being played constantly which got pretty annoying after a short while. They had a dead end hallway where a bunch of sounds kept playing. Like they had kitchen sounds and kids playing, with the sound coming from this dead end that had a window to the outside? It just didnt't make sense, and took away from the immersion. Had a few times where the dev had some animations, these took a while to play out and didn't contribute much to the story. Like why am I watching myself climb through a vent for 2 mins? I could have done that myself in half the time. Good if you can get it a couple bucks.

🔷Madness Inside is a short horror WS (⏱️1h30) taking place in a psychiatric hospital. -Great atmosphere, nice graphics. -No need to run, it's pure walking sim'. -The sound design is amazing, and I was really scared by hearing the sound through my headphones. -Some jumpscares. -The story is okay :) ✅Overall it's a decent little game with minimal gameplay (walk, read notes, solve 2 mini puzzles...). I bought it on sale.

Nuja, knapp 50 Minuten Spielzeit - und ich war wirklich langsam unterwegs. Grundsätzlich würde ich "Madness inside" als einen kleinen, durchaus gelungenen Horrortitel beschreiben. In Sachen Sounddesign (welches sehr gut gelungen ist) und auch grafisch, macht der Titel durchaus etwas her. Abzüge gibt es für die sehr langsame Fortbewegung. Selbst das Laufen bringt nur gefühlt 1km/h mehr auf den Bildschirm. Somit wird natürlich die Laufzeit des Spiels gestreckt... Auch finde ich schade, dass es keine Englische Sprachausgabe gibt. Man liest die gefundenen Rätsel und Patientenakten zwar in englischer Schrift, die Voicelines sind jedoch auf Russisch gehalten. Gerade durch das Sounddesign - nicht einmal durch die paar eingestreuten, visuellen Jump Scares - wird eine beklemmende Atmosphäre geschaffen. Ein Kichern oder ein irres Lachen hinter verschlossenen Türen der Nervenheilanstalt...ein Flüstern, direkt hinter dem Charakter...Klopfen an Wänden und Zimmertüren usw. Gut gemacht, wirklich! Gesamtfazit: Russische Sprache, die langsame Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit und auch die geringe Länge des Titels geben Punktabzug. Wer sich davon aber nicht stören lassen möchte und auf Horrortitel steht, der darf gerne (wenn im Sale) zugreifen. Note 2-

good game scares was to on foward early so didnt get spook and yea great
