MADHOUSE - Thank You for Playing! Updates Coming Soon... - Steam News Thank You! I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has taken an interest in MADHOUSE, whether you had a blast crushing your friends in the multiplayer Versus Mode at the Pittsbur...

Here's a thank you, roadmap, and update on the progress of MADHOUSE since it released on 10/01:

For great justice, take off every zig?

Dude! I love this one... very underrated even though the dub is a hard watch. I have it on VHS and DVD. Almost bought a cel and the LD but they're a little pricy... there's a Famicom game, too!

A black long-sleeved shirt based on "Night Manor," part of the "UFO 50" games collection. Purple and teal inks depict a vignette of the game on the front with the text "Night Manor". Teal inks on the sleeves say "Night Manor" on the right, and depicts mushrooms on the left

The front graphic, isolated. Text says "Night Manor." A monstrous man with some kind of supernatural fungal skin infection brandishes a bloody meat cleaver. A terrified eye is reflected in the back view mirror of a car. A large full moon illuminates a big mansion in the dark. A screaming corpse covered in mushrooms sits in an old clawfoot bathtub behind tattered shower curtains. A creepy doll of a little girl sits in the corner with a blank expression. The silhouette of a figure covered in mushrooms peeks through the mansion window. A car with a smashed front end drives through a dark forest road.

I designed a creepy shirt for UFO 50 based on "Night Manor!" I hate mushrooms so I took psychic damage drawing this

The next update of MADHOUSE will allow the player to choose between two modes when starting a New Game in the Story campaign: UNCUT or TAMED. Tamed will tone down some of the game's more extreme content for players that want to enjoy the game without offensive language & themes. #indiedev

If you bought MADHOUSE and are having fun with it, please consider giving me a review on Steam! I understand that reviews help with the algorithm and I'd appreciate it greatly πŸŽƒ

Additionally, don't miss the 2-4P Versus mode; it's endless fun for you and friends on game night!

That being said, I hope to offer the Story and Versus modes as separate packages in addition to the main game that features both modes. The Story will also feature a content warning with the option to toggle between 'uncut' and 'censored' content. Excited for more development!

Lots of people bought it on the spot, some called it the best thing they saw at the expo, and I got some great perspective on handling some aspects of the game after seeing how big of a hit it was for kids, but warning that the Story campaign isn't suitable for young children.

MADHOUSE had such an overwhelmingly positive reception at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo! Everyone that played it loved it, especially the little kids that kept coming back every day to play -- much to their parents' chagrin; "Don't you want to see what else is here?!"

Grabbed some stuff at PGX (Pittsburgh Gaming Expo) today. And played an awesome indie game, Madhouse, by @phubans.bsky.social that’s in early access on Steam. Hit it up, horror fans!

Exhibiting MADHOUSE at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo has been a FANTASTIC experience with such an overwhelmingly positive reception. I don't even have words right now, I'm just stunned by how much people are enjoying my game. Thank you.

If you're interested in seeing MADHOUSE and can't play it for whatever reason, I recommend checking out this long play video that I posted, which shows all of the content in the Early Access build that released on Steam yesterday!

I think Splatterhouse + ALttP is the best way of describing this one... Thanks for checking it out!

Paul's new game is out in Early Access! Always enjoyed getting something back from him during UFO 50's development and seeing all of the personality and fun details he put into his creations - MADHOUSE is no different!

Horror fans, check it out! πŸ”ͺπŸŽƒ
