The horror is ghoulishly cheesy, and the jump scares are a lot of fun. It takes about three hours to play, and I felt that it was a good value when I bought it on sale on Nintendo’s digital storefront for $5. The game was originally designed with RPG Maker and released on Steam in 2012, but it’s been remastered for Nintendo Switch with updated graphics and sound design, as well as a few postgame bonus segments. As you might be able to guess from the title, her dad is not 100% sane. Mad Father is a retro survival horror game about a cute girl named Aya who lives in an isolated mansion with her father.
