Mad Father And Inventor

Mad Father

You can already tell by the italics that another game review is here. I'm sorry that I forgot to write one in the last post, so instead I will be writing two reviews in this post. I'll be more elaborate and detailed for Mad Father, and less so for Inventor because it's a very short game. Anyhow, off we go to the game review.

Mad Father is yet another horror adventure game. It's by Sen (yes, the same creator of Misao) and is made in WOLF RPG Editor (which is essentially another variant of RPG Maker). You play as a little girl named Aya who lives with her father (the Doctor) and his assistant, Maria. One night Aya is awakened by a scream, and she finds her home has been invaded by monsters and supernatural beings. With the goal of saving her father, she has to uncover the secrets of the mansion and what goes on underneath it.

Overall Mad Father is a very polished and well made game. I loved the story and mechanics of the game, along with each and every puzzle that accompanied it. The feel of the game is very nice and it's one of the better games that I have played. It is difficult to incorporate good and original horror into a game, but I think that a good job was done of that in Mad Father. The good ending (there are multiple) left me dying a bit just because of the foreshadowing it does, and I really wish that there was a sequel to the game.

I very much enjoyed Mad Father and not once in the game was I bored. The puzzles are very thought provoking and the game is just something fresh for you to play if you are simply bored. Mad Father is actually a relatively long game, so if you prefer shorter games, you probably shouldn't give this a try. However if you're good with long games, you can download the game for free right here.

Inventor

Coming from a small indie developer we have the game Inventor. It has a spotlight on IndieGames.com and is very... unique. It was made for the Indie Speed Run 2013 and everything was made in other 48 hours. The game actually covers some valid points, and while it may seem very out-of-the-ordinary, I thought it was a very well made game for what it is.

It does reach out to some thought provoking subjects and I think that was what made the game stand out. The game is in browser, free to play, over at the developer's blog. You should definitely play it at least once, if not more. While the game is definitely weird in it's own ways, it's worth a play.

People Who Make Others Happy

I've always admired people who can make others happy easily. Making a person smile, laugh, or feel better is just rewarding to those type of people. While I cannot say that I have quite gotten the hang of being a person who can make another happy, I like to believe that I am somewhat good at it. I try to keep a good aurora around me and in turn, most of the time I feel good myself.

Cheering people up is always nice. It makes me feel better if I do it successfully. So if you make the people around you happy, then kudos to you. Thanks for making the world that much of a better place. Spread the joy right?

Nothing Else For This Post

Some people don't like repeaters, but I'll say sorry again about my forgetfulness. Maybe I should start writing things out on my hand again. It seems to be somewhat effective in the right situations. Then again, I'll still have to remember to look at my hand every now and then.

I'm kind of behind in work, but I'm not quite sure because by the time my progress reports come out, there are already so many new assignments that the mark on the report could be so much different from what I'm actually getting. So I've been planning a day just to finish everything up, but that might just happen tomorrow. I am a 9 today actually. I'm feeling pretty good, and I hope that this phase keeps up.
