Mad Father is a freeware horror-puzzle game created by Miscreant's Room made with Wolf RPG Editor, their second game after Misao. A young German girl named Aya Drevis is living at home with her titular Mad Father, Doctor Alfred Drevis, and his assistant Maria. One night, Aya hears her father scream and finds her house riddled with corpses and other supernatural things trying to kill her, and her seemingly dead mother Monika Drevis having kidnapped Alfred. Not wanting to leave without her father, Aya decides to brave the house and look for him, all while encountering the horrors of what her father has really done.The game has an English translation made by vgperson, the woman who translated games like Ib and The Witch's House. You can get it here.As of September 24 2016, an updated version is available in both Japanese and English on Steam, featuring both overhauled graphics and artwork as well as new scenes. This version was eventually "updated" to a Video Game Remake edition (also available for the Nintendo Switch) that includes further refinements to the visuals and gameplay, as well as adding a gallery where players can look at game assets and dress up their own doll, and the brand-new "Blood Mode" scenario, which takes place after the original game and presents a What If? twist to the story. | |

All There in the Manual: The name of Aya's father (Alfred) is never revealed during the game. You can only find it in Gallery mode, available after viewing the true ending and collecting all gems. Zig-Zagged in the case of Aya's mother, Monika. Her name is found in one of the notes that appears only in a second run of the game (a letter she wrote), although most players will learn her name from the gallery. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Two bad endings, and a true one. The first bad ending, if you leave your father behind in the netherworld, has Maria dragging Aya back to the lab so she can continue the Doctor's work. The second bad ending has Aya's father kill Maria and turn Aya into a doll. The true ending, obtained by reading Maria's diary, has her escape the manor with Maria... and continue her father's work with Maria. | |

| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_1b590025 | comment |
Dead All Along: An inverted example with Robin, who it's revealed to be alive all along in the If Scenario. Why he was pretending to be a corpse isn't exactly clear, although he seems to worry about how Aya and Maria would react if they knew, and also to think they're better off on their own. The 2020 Remake reveals that he indeed died, but Monika brought him back to life. | |

I Owe You My Life | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_1e4a1e0e | comment |
I Owe You My Life: Maria's devotion to the Doctor stems from the fact that he took her in off the streets when she was starving to death. Of course, he was really planning to use her as a test subject and only changed his mind when she proved useful as an assistant. If you choose to save Alfred instead of granting Monika's wish, Maria will become closer to Aya because she saves her after Dr. Drevis attempted to kill Maria. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Due to some choice wording and a bonus scene in the 2016 version's True Ending, it's left unclear if Aya is killing ill girls and turning them into dolls like her father. Blood Mode in the 2020 remake quashes this question for good by revealing that Aya is in fact killing girls and turning them into dolls, although with significantly more empathy to their cause than her father. | |

Notice This: Somewhat subtler than most examples, but in the hall leading to the doll room in the game's original release, there is always a corpse sliding toward the opposite wall until he notices you, at which point he quickly retreats. If you go to the wall he was aiming for, you will find a secret passage with a gem inside. | |

| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_3e74b72e | comment |
The Pollyanna: Ines. She's a rather sane reawakened former test subject of Aya's father's. Despite having been killed in such an unfair way, unlike the other dead who either tries to kill Aya or lament their fate, she plays pranks and smiles happily in the midst of the darkest places of the world. It could be a case of a Stepford Smiler and that she's actually really pained Beneath the Mask, considering how sad she looked in her moment of death. | |

Bittersweet Ending: In the 2020 remake's Blood mode, Aya's soul manages escape the illusion of her old house and return to her, allowing her to wake up after eating a mysterious apple she got from an old woman. However, Aya reveals she thinks that said woman was a death god seeking to deliver karma to her, and that she and Maria won't be able to escape from her - or any of the watchful gods - wrath, no matter how hard they try. In spite of that, Maria is still willing to stick with her to the end, which makes Aya happy. | |

The Stinger: Viewable after the true ending and credits if you have collected all the gems. It seems that the doctor is still alive and is still performing his grim trade. Another one is added in the Steam version. Aya might not have followed in her father's footsteps, depending on how you interpret what Aya means about her not forgetting because of her promise. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: In the tunnel leading to the cultivation room, you hear a scream and clanging sounds come from the locked door by the chandelier. When you come back to it, the door is open.

Wham Line | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_4e7c4536 | comment |
Wham Line: Or rather, wham "add-on to a previous line" in this case. At the beginning of the game, there's a moment when you can overhear the Doctor telling Maria that Aya's getting to be at a difficult age (in response to Maria's line that Aya isn't fond of her), but Maria should protect Aya. At the end of the game, you get to hear the rest of the conversation, as the Doctor calls Aya "...the most precious doll of them all." If you keep reading the Doctor's Diary, you get these: Fifth Entry - "I found a dead cat in her drawers. Hiding it in a dresser... exactly as I used to. She's sure to follow my same path. She seems to hope for that as well. But I cannot let that happen. If her wish came true, then my treasure... She would be dirtied. Yes, there's no other way than this. I'm sure she won't accept it. But I've already decided. So she won't make the same mistakes as I..." Seventh Entry - "Just like my old self... Killing solely out of interest. Then it must run in the family..." In the True Ending: "You have very pretty eyes." | |

Lack of Empathy: A central part of the game. Aya only cares for her parents and herself. This isn't necessarily a villainous trait, but rather a sign of her emotional immaturity. Part of the game is about her learning to understand the feelings of others, such as her father's victims or Maria's devotion to him. | |

Big Bad Ensemble: Aya's parents, Alfred and Monika Drevis. The former is the titular Mad Father responsible for the horrifying experiments to turn people into dolls to preserve their beauty, while the latter is a spirit who kidnaps Alfred and resurrects the experiments to exact revenge on him while keeping him for herself. Monika is the antagonist for most of the game, in which Aya must rescue her father, and the dead butler claims that the experiments were her idea, but if Alfred is saved, he becomes the Final Boss chasing Aya with intent to turn her into a doll. Ogre turns out to be the demon responsible for both of them, but the extent of his involvement is unclear. | |

Videogame Caring Potential: In order to get a certain scene in addition to the True Ending, you have to obtain all of the gems. Some of the gems can only be obtained by helping out various troubled spirits who were victims of Aya's father and are missing something that's preventing them from being able to rest in peace. However, some of these people are so pitiable that you'll probably be helping them anyway regardless of whether you can get gems from them or not. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: One of the first things you can do in the game is examine a doll from Aya's father, triggering a flashback where she remarks that it's almost life-like. It is- he is a Living Doll Collector. If you check Aya's dressers during the introductory sequence in her room, you'll find that they're full of clothes. If you check them again at any other time during the game, you'll find that they also contain dead animals, hinting at what Aya will become in the true ending. If you continue reading Doctor Drevis's journal, it's revealed that he knew about the dead animals and it wasn't the first time. He comments on how Aya's becoming so much like him and it's implied the only reason he wants to turn her into a doll is to stop her from going down the same path. Aya playing with the cute little chainsaw in the flashback. Like Father, Like Son to the nth degree, especially once you realize that Aya uses it as a tool, not a weapon, and (at least in his own mind), so does her father. When Aya's mother first appears after cursing her husband, the cutscene shows her with blood on her chest. However, we were told by Aya's father that she had died of illness. A sharp-eyed player will catch this and realize that the doctor's explanation doesn't add up. Aya's willingness to forgive her father for all the atrocities he commits foreshadows that she follows in his footsteps in the True Ending. Maria has a dartboard in her bedroom hinting at her skill with throwing knives. | |

Cycle of Hurting: In the chandelier room with a zombie, there is also a save point. If you saved at just the wrong time, you would end up completely screwed over. This has since been patched; the save point has its own room now. | |

Zig-Zagged in the case of Aya's mother, Monika. Her name is found in one of the notes that appears only in a second run of the game (a letter she wrote), although most players will learn her name from the gallery. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Aya needs a key to progress, but it's been dropped in a toilet. She adamantly refuses to stick her hand in. One of the key items (some coins) is found in a toilet, just like in Misao. In a prison, there is an undead girl who has lost her eyes, desperately searching for them. Both her art and her sprite have more than a passing resemblance to Viola (since they're based on the same free resource sprite). Witch's House spoilers: Her missing eyes might be another shout-out, as Viola indeed loses her eyes when she switches bodies with the witch. | |

Antagonist Title | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_cde51255 | comment |
Antagonist Title: The Mad Father, Alfred Drevis, is the Mad Scientist who created the zombies and one of the primary villains. Played With, however, in that you spend most of the game saving him from Monika, and he only becomes a direct antagonist once Monika is out of the way. | |

Red Herring | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: There is a young reanimated girl, Ines, who creeps around Aya and causes random mischief. A player could think she has a role in the overarching plot, but she's killed off by a few dolls with knives out of sight and she had no role in the story as anything but another of Father's reawakened test subjects. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: Released via Steam in 2016, which includes a number of major changes. All of the tilesets have been completely overhauled, and are now far more colourful and detailed. Several areas have new layouts - notably, a large chunk of the first basement level has been removed, making this section much shorter and more straightforward. The Doctor's portraits have been redesigned, similar to how Aya and her mother's portraits were redone in the 2.0 version. Several small jumpscares have been removed, with a few new ones added. Most of the flavour text for Aya examining random objects has been removed. An exclamation mark appears over Aya's head when she is standing next to an objects that can be interacted with. There is now a larger variety of zombie sprites. Previously, all of the zombie enemies used the same sprites as the two Aya encounters in the prologue. Some gem locations and puzzles have been altered slightly. Notably, the scene in the trick room has been completely changed from a king watching two knights duel, to a far creepier one depicting a dead girl's funeral. A few new music tracks have been added. The game received another one in 2020, which was released for Nintendo Switch and Steam, which gave the graphics another overhaul and remodeled a few of the rooms. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Mad Father (Video Game) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: At one point in the game, Aya must recreate a series of events using statues, and these events detail what compelled her father to become a killer. As a child, his first victims were animals, which he kept hidden in the drawers of his home. His mother would quickly find them, though, and berate him for the murders. At one point, one of her scoldings became too much for him, and he stabbed her to death. That was the first corpse he became infatuated with. He then ran from his home and made a journey for the ocean side. But he couldn't forget his mother's dead face and needed to see more, and eventually he ended up murdering more people. And then it just escalated from there. | |
