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

I suppose he does whatever it is taxidermists do to keep things looking fresh?

Of course, most taxidermists work with fuzzy or feathery things where discoloration or withering of he skin underneath wouldn't be noticeable. Since Father wouldn't want his precious daughter to start looking manky, maybe he has some sort of moisturizer? ...for corpses? ...that he applies regularly?

....

EW. EW. EW. STOP THIS TRAIN OF THOUGHT RIGHT HERE, I WANT OFF. DX

I was thinking about maybe LPing Misao, since it's quite short and has a rather interesting story. I'm pretty busy at the moment, though, so if anyone else wants to do it I won't complain~

... Come on now.
He's been at this for YEARS studying how to make the best human dolls. I'd think he figured out a way to perfectly preserve the bodies, even if he had to make his own solution.
Maybe that's what that serum he gave the little girl was for.

... wait that'd be horrible. In character, but horrible.

When I think doll I think of this lass. The final taxidermed Aya does not look cute. I want Aya as a doll like this creature.

...
I was right about the doll thing?!
Not sure if more disturbed by Father or by self.

See, I was thinking she was a doll for a while there.

Yeah, I thought you already played the game so that's why you said that, but apparently you have a mind twisted as father XDDD

Anyway sorry but this was a busy evening and I couldn't play the good end, so I'll post it tomorrow. Remember: An ending a day keeps Father away.

Oh If you want to LP it go on, I don't plan to start a new LP any time soon anyway!

No update yet, but just to revive this thread I'll post something from the soundtrack:

Remember the flashback with Aya and Father playing in the field of flowers and Aya singing a song? This was the song:

Here I am! And this time we decide to help Maria:





But she finds a way to treat the injuries anyway.



I should be most loathesome in your eyes...
It's true... I've known how you feel, mistress. I took away your most beloved. Of course you would hate me. But you are very kind to show me such compassion... (the whole time Aya says some things like "It's not true, don't say that, etc.)



Let's get out of here together. I'm the same as you, Maria. I can't live without father's love. But if father doesn't want us... (Oh, he wants you Aya... as a doll). We've been abandoned. We have to live without him now. Even though you and I can't live alone. So we'll help each other to keep living even if father's gone!



But soon after she has a fit from pain a almost falls over







OK father is down there °___° Let's go back to the previous corridor and take the path to the right.



HOLY SHIT HE CALLED AYA'S NAME ç_____ç

But when they start running Maria falls over.







Yeah right, we're not leaving her behind!



You must escape alone, mistress!





I will follow behind for sure... Believe me, please...

You better keep that promise!



So Aya keeps running and the same thing of the bad end start happening: Father following her, Aya reaching the shrine where a doll grab her legs making her fall, so father is ready to use the chainsaw on her, when...









Guess who did that?

AWWWWWW this CG is adorable ç______ç















WHAT WHAT WHAT



FUCKING DIE ALREADY



AAnd, second person to save the situation in the last few minutes...



It's you!!!! So you're alive *_____________*



But this shock was a bit too much for Aya...



And so Aya faints...

Yaaaaay \o/

YAAAAY!

Go Dio go!
Poor Aya, though. I can't blame her for fainting at this point, poor thing's been through more in the last few hours than most have in a lifetime.
... and now I find myself wondering if there are any games with mad scientists (seriously murder-mad, not regular mad) that are depicted as having genuinely good sides. Like caring for their family in a non-murder way and being protective of someone/something.

Thank you, Mom... I want to see you again...



But I don't think she wanted to be seen as she is now




So don't be sad. If you are, it will only make her sad.
Aya agrees.
The curse will wear off soon... So it's almost farewell.




But there's something I must do before I go. And that is set fire to this mansion.



You can't do that! All those memories of being happy here...
(And of almost being killed countless time by some horrors...)
The boy explain that is necesary because if someone found Father's researches the same tragedy could happen again.



Oh come on don't reason like that Aya, UNDERSTAND THAT FATHER'S RESEARCH IS FUCKING HORRIBLE





Even if this house is gone, my memories of father and mom won't go.





Don't ever forget the people who were sacrificed here. None of us had any relatives. No one looked for us... no one remembered us... no one knew we existed at all. Our existence will be forgotten to the world.
But we did indeed live. So I don't want you to forget that. I want you to hold proof in your heart that we were here... That is the least you can do for us.







May you be smiled upon.
AWWWW this CG, and he made the same lucky charm ritual of mother *_______*



Sigh sigh, I'll miss you ç___ç



And so Aya and Maria leave together with Snowball.
Meanwhile, in the basement...



I have seen countless many foolish humans. But you are the most foolish of them all
(Are you related to Franziska Von Karma?).
A human mad with desire is more fearsome than any demon. And yet I adore such follish humans... Come to me, and you may research to your heart's content...
Wait a minute Ogre, are you saving this asshole?? Or since he's dead you're dragging him into hell with you???? I really hope for the second option >___> I liked you for the whole game but don't disappoint me...

urgh I hate the italic button in this forum, why it always remain pushed even when I disable it? Am I the only one with this problem? And for some reason it makes the spaces go crazy if you don't disable it before posting >_>

... um, but...
But, Dio.
Dio, you realize that Maria is a hobo, right? She was about to starve to death before Father took her in?
And Aya's lived here comfortably her whole life? Seems to have no other relatives aside from her father who just died?

Burning down her house without letting any of them gather any money or supplies is kind of a dick move, dude.
A really big dick move.
Besides the underground walls are made of stone, those won't exactly burn.

As for Ogre, I imagine this is a deal with the devil - possibly a sequel hook. But hey, they probably need researchers in Hell~

One could have hoped for a little more realization of the ethical problems of horribly torturing people to death by the end of this thing, but at least Aya is willing to sort of remember that the victims of her parents existed, so that's...good? I guess?

This poor girl is going to need so much therapy.

Wait, where did the bunny come from? He has been gone for most of the game. Are we sure that bunny isn't some undead horror?

Actually, if Aya's father has been experimenting on people as his full-time job all this time, while keeping up an enormous house, his daughter living in pampered comfort... He's gotta have some sort of investments or other income out there that's paying for the medical supplies, property taxes, and so forth. And bizarre as he was, I don't see him keeping it all in hundred dollar bills in a mattress somewhere. So a horrible fire takes out the house and "kills" Aya's father, she escapes alone, tragic orphan with big inheritance... Could be a lot worse.

And you can do some surprising damage to stone structures if you get a hot enough fire going around them. If any of those weird fluids are flammable? Oh yeah. That place is going up like a torch, and should probably do enough damage to the upper part of the property that no one will find the creepy vast underground labyrinth.

(I realize I'm overthinking all of this. But still!)

Oh of course the game hasn't ended yet, I took a pause watching a tv show but I'm gonna upload the rest soon XD
And after our use of Snowball the rabbit returned in his "home" in Aya's bedroom, I could see him whenever I entered the room, so I guess Aya had the time to take some of her possessions in the room.

My favorite kind of horror story ends with a happy ending after all the creepy junk and this did that and d'awww happiness :DDDD

Unless I'm speaking too soon and something terrible is going to happen.

EDIT: AND THEN POST HAPPENED and this is the second time that's happened to me grrr.

That makes sense. I still don't trust that bunny. Horror movies and games have left me with a deep distrust of anything fluffy and cute.

So, I have finished some of my homework and I don't think I'm going to do any more of it today. If anyone wants it, I could start an LP of Misao, but I need some kind of program that lets me take screencaps.

Yeah, Snowball numer... 15 maybe?





We have to find somewhere to live... But I'm sure I can't live alone. Maria... Will you come with me?



Yay! So are we getting the endig I hoped for, with Aya and Maria being an happy family together! *__*

You have taught me much, mistress. Now it is time for me to help you... Whatever awais us ahead, I wish to protect you all the way.









Maria start walking away.

Actually, I wonder where that guy with the black coat went? I kinda hope he's okay... I'm sure he'll be alright, though. He's a really strange guy. Come on, Snowball.





Aya start going after Maria when...



It kinda looks like the anatomy book we found in one of the secret laboratories...

... I have a bad feeling about this...









Even after that harsh experience, she walks on without shedding a tear. With the mistress beside me, I feel we can overcome anything... However...



Yeah don't tell me, I have te same feeling...



The camera goes upward showing us the night sky.

But it's not over yet!!! Stay tuned for the next update soon!

Since it's the same author and maybe the same program, check if pressing the "stamp" button on your keyboard automatically takes in-game screenshot. In Mad Father it's like that and it's veeery convenient (I wish more programmer would think such a useful in-game utility)

There is nothing about it in the game's readme, but I could try. Which button is the stamp button (I have a Swedish keyboard)?

EDIT: Found it!

e_____e don't tell me you're going to research human's anatomy too, Aya...

So I made it.

I've heard about this place...

She looks at the sign that says "Drevis Clinic"

Clinic...? Yeah, this must be the place. It's out in the middle of nowehere... No one would even notice it.



It's a grown up Aya! The longer hair suited you better, you know. And it's nice if she really became a "real doctor" to help people...

She asks what's the problem.



Yes, well... I was born rather feeble... I've asked my loac doctor for a checkup, but... how do I say this... My family is really poor, so the doctor's given up on me. That's why I came here. I heard the doctor here does checkups for free...

Never trust free medical treatment!



What 's your name?





Aya is extremely nice to her, she makes her compliment and when the woman coughs she makes her enter to make a check up.











Oh God, this line gave me a creepy feeling.

Aya makes the woman lie down on a table.



(They don't sound far off... Are they in the back?)

I don't know why but also this makes me suspicious...



Ok, If I was the woman I would freak out now. Why the hell would you need anesthesia for a check-up???



So beautiful... I can't stop looking at them...

Two possibilites: Or Aya is lesbian or... I don't want to think about it ç____ç







From now on, you'll never suffer again... So take it easy. And go to sleep...

°_______________________________________________°



Maria... looks like she's kinda disappointed... I hope...





.... I just...

What about never forgetting the horrors that many people suffered because of you father, Aya??? Did you even learn anything from that experience????? >____>

Well, at least she seems much nicer and anesthetize the peple before... making them doll. So I guess they don't suffer much?

I understand that this is an horror but, WHY GAME, WHY???

*flips tables in rage*

OH COME ON!

WTF AYA?!? Didn't you run away because you didn't want to become a doll? Why would you? *throws hands up*

.
..
...
Did Aya just become Dr. Kiriko?

*gross sobbing* I knew it!

Yeah right? It looks like she didn't understand anything... you didn't want to become a doll but you still doing the same to other people? Come on >_>

I... what... If Aya's turning all her patients into dolls, why are people still sending people her way to be treated?!?!?!?!?

GAH!

nobody cares about poor people, maybe?

AYA WHYYYY

Maybe they set up a conspiracy with a nearby village, like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

Serial killers don't kill everyone they meet~ They need people to vouch for their innocence, after all! A little clinic in the middle of the woods~ Who's to say her poor patients didn't get attacked by wild animals after she finished treating them? What a shame~ What a shame~
...
I-I-I took Forensics last semester! That's why I think like this! Y-Yeah, that's exactly why...!

Tell me about it. And I was just feeling sympathetic for her. Bah. I am disappoint Aya. Very disappoint.
