A short but remarkable opera prima
A loving homage to horror flicks like "Babadook" and "The Conjuring" as much as a spooky puzzle game, "Madison" is definitely one of the horror games of the year. Bar the occasional puzzling decision (pun intended) in terms of gameplay, this is a truly terrifying experience with so much flavour and chutzpa. Alexis di Stefano shows lots of promise with a game that is Visage as much as Layers of Fear. It would be great to have several endings and a more developed story (As it stands, it can be seen as a series of clichés all ensembled together) but as an opera prima it is truly outstanding. Kudos to Bloodious, can't wait to see their next offering! And also can't wait to see the 35 euros become 20 or 15 (the game is truly short).
