A good example of this is a nail, which you’ll find sticking into something in the first hallway you must explore. I said that after playing it for the first time, because I found that I would miss important items upon a first glance, only for them to appear the second time I investigated an object, as if they had just appeared for the first time. When I was speaking to my editor, the way I originally described MADiSON was to call it a “needle in a haystack horror game,” which I still stand by. Granted, I’ve never been great at puzzle games. In fact, MADiSON can sometimes be too confusing and obtuse, leading to frustration. However, if you’re like me you’ll end up resorting to a guide, because things can be both challenging and perplexing. If you’ve played PT you’ll have a good idea of what to expect from this title, which ranges in length depending on how good the player is at solving puzzles. The story is pretty odd and confusing, though. Pieces of information suggest that Luca has been possessed by a demon, which may have been responsible for creating a serial killer in years past, and now wants our protagonist to take part in some awful ceremony. Thus begins a perplexing, occasionally scary, and often creepy experience, in which one must explore a house to find not only helpful items, but also details as to what’s going on. Then, after that pulse-increasing escape, the player is left to his or her devices. Things start off with a bang, as Luca is chased through an alleyway inside the walls by his father, who loudly states that he isn’t his son. Upon waking up inside of a dark and locked room, with his hands covered in some type of blood, a young man named Luca must explore his deceased grandparents’ nightmarish home. In fact, I believe that’s a pretty apt description of what you’ll find within this title. This is why I asked to review MADiSON, the recently released horror puzzler from Bloodious Games.ĭescribed by its developers as being a “first-person psychological horror game,” MADiSON is kind of like an interactive escape room filled with confusion and horror. It’s the genre of book I gravitate towards and read most, one of my favourite genres of television, and a type of video game that I often get excited about. Of course, this adoration wasn’t just limited to movies, as I’ve been a huge fan of horror fiction in all varieties ever since. Following those nights spent sleeping in my poor parents’ bedroom, a friend’s video store persuasion led me to truly fall in love with what the masters of the macabre dreamt, created and put on screen. Although they originally gave me horrible nightmares at an all too early age, horror movies quickly became one of my favourite genres, after a two year-long break during which I feared that Freddy Krueger would kill me in my sleep.
