Why japanese girls are always protagonists of scary games? Let's Play: Mad Father!

The end of game gallery says that the blonde kid is "Called Dio by some, but his true name is unknown."

So I guess Charles is as good a name as any. :D

I'm willing to give Maria a little benefit of doubt here. She's completely dedicated to Father and since Father asked her to look out for Aya, it seems logical to think Maria was trying to protect her.

I'm wondering if doing the bit with Maria's past influenced this or not. Maybe if you hadn't read her diary or what not, you'd be running around with Charles. Or maybe not, maybe he comes back magically at the end for an encore, he is a zombie ghost thing and hasn't disappeared yet.

Dio noooo! ;A; Maria why you do this?! //cries//

So I'm going to casually leave this as I go and work up the courage to go and play this on my own ;w; No, I probably would not.,,.



Ham~!! <3 I just love her okay ;w;

Called Dio? Oh God is this a prequel to Jojo series? XDDD

Alternatively; Father created the zombies (for SCIENCE), but the ghostiness is part of the curse. In other words, the poor souls first had to endure Fathers dastardly schemes, and then not being allowed to rest after death, because of the curse keeping them present. Talk about bad luck.

Woah, so I already reached a moment in which I can't go back anymore? I hope I got all the gem so far then. Good thing I make multiple saves and I one before all this happened anyway.

So this time the ghost don't bother us in the kitchen and let us go in the next room.



Uh-oh, the door behind me made a strange sound °__°



Oh it's you again? Gimme a break!



*smashes Z button to open door before he gets near*

And I did it, got back in the cafeteria... but I can't do anything there and can't go back any further, so let's try this corridor again...



Meaning you took care of the ghost/zombie/ whatever that was stalking me? Thanks!



Oh-oh, this looks like the puzzle in the Witch's House were you have to make the two rooms look identical...



We just saw you a second ago, but yeah, I wonder how can you be always ahead of me.

So did you solve the puzzle to open this door?



It wasn't hard. Notice that I had to push the doll of the king from the room where ogre is to the right room, and cut his head off with a chainsaw.



I hope I'll find answers too.





OMG Sorry Mr. King for cutting your head off I... I... ç____ç



What's this? O_o



It's a puzzle again, these are mannequins and I have to change things to make them match with the description on the diary...



Wait a minute... putting dead animals in dressers, like we saw in Aya's room... is this the past of Aya?? O__o



This was a bit tricky to figure, I had to "push away" mom's mannequin to solve this puzzle other than putting the animals in the dresser.



WHAAAAT



I had to use the napkin the hungry boy gave me to clean mom's mannequin face from the blood...





Oh it's a boy! So we are seeing Father's past? He really is a psycho



I had to chainsaw the head of the girl, that exploded in gore like a baloon... yuk

That part of the diary managed to scare me because Aya had no reaction at all.

.....

What the.

This starts to look more and more like Corpse Party.

So, I actually finished up Mad Father a couple days ago. Its a really good game, I enjoyed it!
But like I said, I'll continue to watch/lurk this thread. Carry on. It only gets better from here, heh.



Also, if you're curious on what I have to say about the game... Don't worry, its not really a spoiler, but I went ahead and did the tag anyway.

Man, this game really needs a Garry to save my poor heart.

We had our Garry, but Maria killed it after just after we were making acquaintance ç___ç

Let's see what's ahead of those weird rooms about Father's past (Or so I suppose)



There's still another floor? What the hell, there are more underground floors than elevated ones, this is isn't a hose... this is a bunker O_o





Fat... her...

And then Aya faints. Welp!



Well, Ogre is always there to save our ass. Maybe he is this game's Garry.









I think she kissed her forehead?





Oh right, we read a book about it in the reception room.



Uhm sorry Mom, I'm not sure it did work :/



Awwwww, this is such an heartwarming scene...







OMG, it's the girl that loves to jump-scare up!





AYA, I AM YOUR MOTHER







Aaaand she runs away with our mother's perfume.

... Dog.
It is mandatory to look at that dog.
LOOK AT IT.

Also, that girl is a jerk. Who steals someone's perfume!?
Amusingly, if Father's doing all this just to see dead people, it makes sense that he keeps switching between subjects - he's not actually trying to research anything, just looking for new ways to kill people.
Still doesn't explain the orc though.

Well, at least he seems harmless.



So I entered this corridor and all the rats jumped at me, I barely made in time to take the key and go back...



Oh it's her again. It seems like she's talking to a rat. But the animal runs away.



Ehi, you're talking about my mom's perfume!



Woah, Aya literally pushed the girl against the wall!





Uh? You don't have it? Where did you put it?



Aya is a bit confused and the girl take the chance to escape again.





There was this photo in the dresser, it looks like the dog in the next room, with a bone in his mouth, uhm...





Ah! Nothing our chainsaw can't resolve!







OMG A ZOMBIE CAME FROM THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, RUN!



I actually had to push the door to keep it closed! That zombie really wanted to eat me.



Ehi this wasn't here before...



I-IT WASN'T ME I SWEAR °________°

The part with the rats reminded me of this scene in the first Sailor Moon series:

Wow. If I cry please forgive me.

...SAID FATHER

So! As the game hinted letting us see the rat fleeing from the girl using the perfume, if we use the perfume on ourselves we can get past the corridor with all the rats!



I don't know if this a statue or a the corpse of a nun, but it started blurting blood when I examined it °_______°
Le's check the door next to it.





What the hell is that, a baby frankenstein? And it's fucking fast, and FUCK IT KILLED ME THE MOMENT HE REACHED ME ç___ç

I was one-shotted by a baby frankenstein, seriously???



I'm trying to figure out what to do...



Oh, the nun went away °_°



So I had to close myself in this cell, what now? If I try to get out, he kills me.



There's nothing else I can do anyway.



And the bed suddendly move. Ah! A Secret passage!



I had to push this pot to get through...



...but if I get out here he still kills me. It took me A LONG TIME to understand what I had to do...



Make him chase me and putting he pot back.



And then It took me a while to get that I also had to close the door. Fuck you monster!



ARGH! I FUCKING HATE DOLLS! THEY ARE SCARY!



I tried to open the door but I was pushed away by some invisible force.





(Too bad I'm exceeding the image count for this post, a gif of Gandalf's "you shall not pass" would be perfect XD)









UGH PLEASE STOP ç________ç

Did I already say that I think dolls are fucking scary?

Reading this at 2 in the morning when I was supposed to be sleeping...and I hate dolls now T_T and zombies too...but I can't stop reading this lol Oh well, hopefully the ending will be a good one...now to go back to sitting in my dark corner, hugging my teddy, hoping this will end soon

GODDAMNIT, DOLL.

DOLL.

What's that? A creepy doll, you say?

I know how to deal with that. ψ(｀∇´)ψ



... and then we were the doll.

I hate creepy dolls.
But they aren't that creepy in this game.
For now.

Maybe I'm biased about dolls. When I was little in my parent's room there were a few porcelain dolls placed in way that they would look at you when you walked over the door. And their smile... was so creepy.
I remeber that when I was at home alone I used to lock the door of my parent's room because I was scared the dolls would come and murder me ç____ç

I was terrified by this guy

Does anyone remember that scene from The Great Mouse Detective with all the toys?
That scared me. Sometimes I had to put my brother's toys in the closet because they were too creepy at night. .
Also, I hate this thing:


SERIOUSLY, FUCK THIS THING.

Well, I won't show you my doll collection then. Duly noted.

My fear of dolls comes from this little shit from my class in kindergarten who told me she saw the teacher's china doll moving.

Me too. Still kinda am, if I'm being totally honest. He lost some of his scariness when he started getting all those scars all over his face though.

So, let's keep talking with the creepy doll.



Oh, looks who's here again!



Or, you know, we could dismember it using our chainsaw.





Oh, so you can say other things than "You won't pass"



Scared much, uh?



Am I going around with a creppy talking doll inside my pocket? ... Sadly yeah ç___ç



I think the game is hinting me about where to go now °____°



Look, Aya opened Schrodinger's box!

Just kidding. Poor cat, I hear a meow and found him dead :(



Woah, if I go down a little bit Aya starts to fall and I have to smash the Z button to get back on the edge °_°



Oh, not again please ç_____ç



A bone? Wait a minute, didn't the dog in the picture... uhm let's go back...



... and OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING IN THE NEXT ROOM



I gave the bone to the dog and he left a gem, nice! I almost got all of them.



... t-the thing is not here anymore, apparently °_°



And there's light here now? I... ok let's just keep going ahead.

So I start sneaking from the murderous dolls...



Well, at least this one isn't trying to kill me...



HOLY SHIT, the doll you see on the lower part of the screen literally came in by bursting a hole in the wall °_°



Oh no no no... not another of this baby killer again...



Yeah, he went away...



The other one we met before had fucking sharp eyes and ears instead :/

What the hell just happened? I don't really understand if it were two or more people talking...



The girl from before! And other creepy dolls ç_ç So they were talking I guess...





Awww :( In the end, she's another one of these zombies that helped me... and I guess she wrote the message about being part of the family we saw before.



°___° And OH GOD, SOMETHING INSIDE THE LOWER LEFT BAG MOVED °__° Since the door is locked anyway, let's go somewhere else...





Ok ok but grab the key before running away, ok?



Oh now is the dog again ç___ç And what the hell Aya, why did you leave the key there?



So the dog ate the key and we have to take it back. I don't think I like where this is going...



Argh it's him again!



Oh, I think I get what I must do...



And use it to reach the lamp, so I can make t crash on the zombie. It's easy right?



... but I was the one to crash instead. And the zombie killed me :/



Yeah I hope it works this time.



Fuck yeah! Take this you stupid zombie!

So we found another goddamn research room of some kind...



Oh, I love puzzles! And this seems easy enough.



A... very well drawn picture of Aya, that cute!





I wonder whatkind of research is this...



So he messed up even with Mandragoras?? Really Father, can't you focus on a research at a time?



And there's the dog in the dead end, I can't get near unless I want to be dead too.



Pot smash! Link is proud of you!



Ohh I get it, mandragoras that kill with their scream, earplugs..



There's a mandragora planted there and the game asked me if I wanted to extract it...



... and Aya died. WTF, I had the earplugs! °___°



So I had to say "no" about extracting the mandragora, and then the game asks me to take the pot. Fuck you game >__>



So I think I know what I have to do this time...



YES! This time only the dog died.



Quick, Aya, slash it before it runs away! We have to use it to make potions! (If you played Odin Sphere you'll understand XD)



We have to retrieve the key from the dog stomach, right? And we have a scalpel, so you can guess what Aya is about to do...



Your Father would be so proud of you, Aya!



Woah, seems like the mandragora are running freely in this room now, but let's go to the incinerator finally!

So, I was going back to the incinerator room but I saw this door was open... it was closed shut before, and even saw thumping coming from inside like there was a creature wanting to come out.

I already gathered all the gems, but... I want to see what's inside this room >__<





Curiosity killed the cat. I thought this would happen, but I wanted to see it anyway... sorry Aya ç__ç



Ok finally let's get into the incinerator!





So there's even a volcano under this goddamn mansion?? (Are there even volcanos in Germany?)

Anyway Aya has a flashback of the girls telling her to throw the doll into the fire to destroy it.







Good Aya, don't fall for its threats!



Scared shitless, uh?









Don't fall for this trick Aya!





Come on, Frodo, you have to throw it into the volcano!!




YES! (Even in death this doll can be goddamn creepy, for me)





So, now the door guarded by the dolls sould open, and since we collected all the gems I think we basically are at the end of the game.
So! Next update will be about the ending, and if there are multiple ones I'm saying in advance that I'm going first for the worst ending in which Father dies orribly >__> Then we can see the others.

Yeeeessss, burn it, burn it, burn it.

Father dies horribly = bad ending? I'm afraid to see the good one...

I just love how Aya has no problem slicing a dog open and sticking her hand into its guts to get a key, but won't stick her hand into a toilet to do the same.

Gahhhhh (That doll was all about being one big fat LotR reference wasn't it?). I'm truly sitting on the edge of my seat clutching things. As we get lower I feel like we're diving into father's pyche ;_;

I can't wait to read the conclusion. Thank you for picking up this game and LPing it, Faust.

Well, maybe the toilet was full of poop.
Poop is way grosser than intestines. I mean, maybe it stank really badly.

Besides, she WAS raised by our dear Father. He probably taught her corpses are nothing to be grossed out or upset about, they're fun! So much fun~! So much~

Yeah right? Guts are supposed to be gross and smell even worse that some poop in a toilet O_O

And thank you forgetmenot. I also enjoy doing this LP and I love all your discussions guys, I'm kinda sad this LP is almost finished :°

So! We finally enter the room protected by the doll, and what do we find?





A reality too harsh fro such a young lady may be awaiting you. Will you still go?

Aya nods.









You're a door-to-door Homeopathy salesman?















She must be in pain. So I have to save Mom too! Mom will be able to rest once the curse is gone?









"That would be 600 $ by the way"

I pray for your safety



Well, we collected all the gems and I think we've done everything, so let's jump!



What will she choose, I wonder... Hoho I shall see this to the end.

Why would you leave your chainsaw there, Aya? >__>
