Mad Father has multiple endings which makes it the perfect game for theorists, like myself, who like to make up their canons, take small pieces of stories, and run with it. There were three cringy minutes of text talking about mom’s steak, interactions that felt unnatural and dry coming from an 11-year-old girl, and the list goes on, but again, is this the fault of direct translations hitting different than it does in Japanese, or is it just the lack of knowledge of how people act in the situations these characters are forced into? The game’s dialogue is something I’m still not too sure I can critique much, as this is a game from Japan and direct translations from any language going into English are bound to lose some of a culture’s living words. From hide and seek sessions with killer dolls in cute bonnets and setting traps, to gathering materials around the house where you have to use your common sense (unless you’re me and have none of that) to combine things together to set a fleshy mess of a monster on fire, there are so many little mysteries that, without a doubt, will make you feel so stupid for being stuck on them for so long. One of my favorite things about Mad Father is the number of puzzles you run into. With puzzles that’ll make you yell, a spine-tingling soundtrack e, and charming design, I found myself upset that I forgot about such a fascinating treasure. The player battles with themselves to save the father that you promised to love forever, or to let him go.
#MAD FATHER OGRE FULL#
Running around a home full of dead bodies seeking revenge, she is greeted by interesting side characters like Ogre, a spirit from another world, and “the blonde boy”, a sweet victim who wants the best for Aya. As Aya got older, she noticed strange things were happening her mother was growing ill, the relationship between her father and Maria was getting suspicious, and there were screams and chainsaw noises coming from her dad’s “doctor’s office.” Aya wakes up one night to her family’s mansion full of animated corpses of past victims from her father’s experiments. Growing up, she had her mother Monika, her father Alfred, and her father’s assistant, Maria, to keep her company. Mad Father is set in the middle of nowhere Germany, where you play as Aya Drevis, an 11-year-old girl with a white fluffy rabbit named Snowball. I decided that it was about that time to revisit my Aya, her creepy dad, dolls with baby bonnets, and sound effects that jump scared me into oblivion.
I downloaded the game, finished it, and loved my playthrough from what I remember, but honestly, I forgot I even touched it until I saw the news that it was being remade.

The game being free at the time, made it so that a teenager with not a whole lotta means in her wallet could enjoy this 6-hour adventure, after a day full of grade school drama and homework assignments. It was developed by Sen, a one-person team based in Japan, who just so happened to make another fantastic short horror game, Misao Published by Playism, a company dedicated to localizing regional treasures from Japan and making them accessible for the rest of the world to enjoy, and vice-versa. As much of a hell-hole Tumblr was in 2013, one of the gems from being on there was finding a photoset from a video Markiplier made playing Mad Father.
When my dashboard, at the time, was full of bleak and grainy photography behind angsty quotes, YouTuber simping, and a ton of senseless teenage drama amongst users. My first run-in with Mad Father was during my Tumblr years. In light of this news, I wanted to dive back into the original before the remake came out, to see if it holds up from its debut back during the holiday season of 2012. With updated puzzles, animations, decor, and more, fans of the original game have much to look forward to.
