Something that adds to all of this is the three possible endings. He killed his wife, hid her body and told Aya she died of her illness during the night. She storms in to stop her husband and says she is going to leave with their daughter. In particular, his plan to turn Aya into a doll. Monika, Aya’s mother, overheard her husband talking to his assistant about his future plans. It was not her illness that ended her life. Even with all this evidence, Aya still does not want to give up on her father.īy far though, the most disturbing discovery for Aya is the true fate of her mother. Sorry, there’s no gentle way to say that. Even more concerning, what seems to be developing foetuses, or possibly dead ones. Between bloodstains, chains on the floor, and disturbing diary entries, there are the contents of the shelves. As Aya makes her way through the laboratory and the underground areas of the house, things get… twisted. I can’t talk about this game without talking about this. The curse caused because of her father’s actions. Aya must traverse the house, solve puzzles and navigate maze-like areas to get to her father, all while avoiding the curse on her family. She decides to get up to check on her father, but her way to the lab is blocked by a pile of dolls. In the middle of the night, Aya awakes to a strange noise. Her mother previously passed away due to a long fight with illness. We play as Aya, a young girl who lives with her scientist father (known only as Doctor) and his assistant Maria. Mad Father is an indie horror developed by Sen and published by Playism. This was my first dive into horror gaming. That laptop no longer works, but my original copy is still installed. I still remember downloading it on my laptop, all those years ago. The original is a freeware, made in WOLF RPG Editor. It was also the first indie game I ever played. Not only was that the original version of the game, but it was also the first horror game I ever completed. I first played Mad Father back in around 2013.

Let me take you back a few years before we get into things. The fact that it hit Nintendo Switch makes it all that much sweeter. I was eyeing up this remake for a while, and oh my, I was excited. I still cannot believe this slid under my radar.
