Mad Father 2012

Is it still worth playing?

A survival horror role playing puzzle game developed by the Japanese developer Sen and published by Miscreant's Room, released on 10 December 2012, with a Steam version in 2016. You play Aya Drevis, an 11 year old girl in Northern Germany, who breaks into her father's secret laboratory in the basement of their manor to find the horrifying truth about his research. She knows that her father Alfred experiments on and kills people, and her only company at home is the maid Maria. You can explore the whole manor, though some rooms need puzzles solved or items found. Enemies can attack Aya, but you can escape them through quick time events before her life ends. Gem shaped collectibles from side challenges unlock an extra scene after the credits. A light novel adaptation was published in 2014. A girl alone in a house of secrets still gives the horror a personal angle.
