Mad Father is a free downloadable game made within the Wolf RPG Editor by Sen (The Miscreant’s Room). It is a horror-puzzle game that follows the experiences of a young German girl by the name of Aya Drevis. Originally released in Japan, it was translated by vgboy (vgperson ) who also translated games such as Ib and The Witch’s House.

On the eve of the anniversary of her mother’s death, Aya reflects on the past. Sad, lonely, and desperate for something to help her relive happier times, Aya asks her father if they can do something special in memory of her lost mother. Aya’s father agrees and puts her to bed, promising to make tomorrow a better day. But this fleeting glimpse of light is quickly extinguished when Aya is jolted from her slumber by the sound of her father screaming. She jumps out of bed and runs to find her father, only to find the once-peaceful and somber home now littered with corpses and other horrors. Will Aya end up reuniting with her mother in the most horrific way imaginable at the hands of the undead hordes? Will she manage to escape the manor together with her father’s assistant, Maria? Or will she somehow manage to save her father from the unknown terrors awaiting her around every turn?
