MADiSON

MADiSON is a first-person horror game where the emphasis is on psychological pressure rather than sudden appearances alone. The main character Luka comes to his senses in a dark room with bloody hands and realizes that he is participating in someone else's ritual. Demon Madison began his business several decades ago, and the ceremony must be completed. You have to sort things out in a house where every room remembers someone else’s misfortune. The silence here is more pressing than the screams. The main tool is a camera, which allows you to see what is hidden from view. Pictures help to find traces and open passages. You can play in a virtual reality helmet, and then the hero becomes even closer to what is happening. The sound of footsteps and creaks work just as well as the scenes, and headphones enhance the effect. The pictures are put into an album, where you can see the missing clues. It’s better not to anger your opponents again, otherwise the path becomes more dangerous. Loading is fast, so replaying a moment is not scary. The house consists of rooms that change from chapter to chapter. The door may slam behind you, and the corridor will lead to the same place where the path began. Cabinets and tables provide cover if someone is walking nearby. The mood deteriorates gradually, and not immediately, and this is the main thing in the idea. Graphics settings significantly affect the mood of the game. Ghosts aren't always hostile, which is confusing. There are rooms inside the house where the hero loses his sense of direction. Riddles are solved with the help of pictures and notes that come across along the way. Some doors open only after photographs are developed. For those players who want slow and sticky fear, the game is suitable.
