"Mad Father is a delightful surprise. It's rare to see a horror adventure that takes full advantage of its limited framework. The puzzles are easy, but they're also creative. They're appropriately themed, and they don't attempt to pass off leaving the player in the dark as some sign of depth. The sprite work is nicely detailed, and everything about the house exudes a high level of polish. The story is very dark and well-told, and gamers will probably experience a wide range of emotions. There are also plenty of genuinely scary and disturbing moments. All in all, this game is highly recommended."

About
You wake up to rain tapping windows and a house that feels... wrong. Your parents left for dinner but the clock reads 3 AM. Corridors stretch where they shouldn’t. Familiar rooms flicker between memories and something else. You’ll wander this shifting space collecting fragments of truth, audio logs, distorted video clips, scribbled notes, that slowly figure out what happened while you slept. The game leans into quiet dread over jump scares, using creaking floors, muffled whispers, and a color palette of grays and sickly yellows to build unease. The 90 minute runtime packs the tension of a classic survival horror intro stretched into a contained experience. With 82% of players on Steam calling it “worthwhile” and praising its moody synth soundtrack, it’s clear the game succeeds at making you feel trapped in a broken home. The lighting design especially stands out, soft shadows blur the line between reality and nightmare, making every doorway feel like a risk. Not a long journey but a short, unsettling stay.
