#Sen (Miscreant's Room)

[claramitygames]

It has arrived! And though I DID finish the gameplay, they dropped a 2024 HD Remaster!

Now, originally, I was gonna do a 5-year anniversary gameplay in January (considering I did the "final" part in January of 2020) while replaying as the male protagonist...

And then they drop this shit!

Thankfully I DON'T remember ANYTHING about this game! So, we're gonna re-experience this whole thing together again!

Two Sides of the Same Coin: Misao and Mad Father

I can't stop thinking about the parallels between Misao and Mad Father. Misao came first, in 2011, and Mad Father came out a year later in 2012. They're both created by Sen (aka Miscreant's Room) and they're chock full of the same themes and ideas. Misao and Mad Father are like two sides of the same coin in terms of plot, theme, and character. They're telling the same sort of story from two different sides.

Misao is about a girl who is tortured by her classmates, and the revenge she takes on them, and the kind girl with a dark side who, frankly, has no problem at all with her taking revenge. The school is overrun with supernatural entities trying to kill everyone and we have to stop it. You learn through flashbacks how each different character hurt Misao. Its a revenge-driven supernatural force where we're on the side of the victim taking revenge.

By contrast, Mad Father is about a man who tortures people, and his kind daughter with a dark side who loves him. The numerous victims of his horrific experiments haunt the house and cannot rest, and they will do anything to bring him down with them. The house is overrun with supernatural entities trying to kill everyone and we have to stop it. You learn through flashbacks how each different character was hurt by father. Its a revenge driven supernatural force where we're on the side of the villain who caused all this hurt.

The wild thing is, to a certain extent, the side of story you're on is purely circumstantial. Aki takes Misao's side because she thought Misao was cool when she was alive and wanted to be friends. Aya takes her father's side because he's her father and she loves him. Its not something inherent in their morality, its affection for a person for both of them. There is even a bit of ironic parallel between Aki and Aya in that Aki is actually part demon and Aya is metaphorically part demon by being her father's daughter. In both cases, the supernatural does take its revenge. The difference here, of course, is that Aki helps Misao let go and everyone is reincarnated for a second chance, while Aya becomes like her father.

⚠️ BLOOD WARNING ⚠️

"Mad Father."

Imagine Gaster doesn't want his sons to be 'dirtied', so he decided to kill them and made them into dolls. Ahh I'm just replaying the Mad Father game and then this idea suddenly came to my mind so I decided to just draw this crossover!

SUCH A CREEPY HIGH SCHOOLER!! | Misao Part #05

[lizztoons]

Poster number 6 is Mad Father a second game created by Sen (Miscreant’s Room) Let it be known….. I had to redo this right before uploading as I realized I spelt Miscreant wrong…. And hadn’t saved a copy with the text still adjustable before closing…. Spelling has never been my forte, and it continues to plague me…. This one references a Kill Bill vol. 1 poster.

A good horror game with an awesome story. There are two versions of it, a free version and an updated one for about $5 on Steam. The update adds a bit more, though the one thing I will say that is not a great change is the spoken lines by the Doctor. It went from kinda creepy to…. “really? That’s what you’re gonna say?” Outside of that it is still a really good game.

Rest of the Series

A revamped version of Misao is now out on Steam and Playism!

Once again, Playism has published one of my classic free game translations. The free versions aren't going anywhere, of course! But Sen gave the game a rather significant update for this release, which I would say is probably more extensive than Mad Father's. Hence "Definitive Edition," I guess The primary changes are:

Totally redone tilesets and sprites - everyone's big now - and somewhat-redone illustrations.

The layout of everything and the puzzles changed a bunch; some things were shuffled, some are brand new.

Some new scenes (plus a certain something was "streamlined") and translation improvements. Yeah, that's the correct reading for his name. Sorry.

New deaths, which shouldn't be surprising, because it's Misao. And what are achievements for if not making you seek out every deathtrap?

Not a new feature, but it is if you missed version 3: you can now choose male or female Aki from the start.

The uniform designs were finally changed!!

APPARENTLY, ‘MAD FATHER’ AND ‘MISAO’ GOT EXTREMELY UPDATED AND I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW...?!

I’m Shocked. Mad Father (Steam Addition) — September 23rd, 2016 Misao: Definitive Addition — October 25th, 2017 These Games were Apart of The Highlight in My Preteenhood... As Well as ‘Ib’ and ‘The Witch’s House’, Of Course!~ I Vividly Remember Watching PewDiePie’s Playthroughs of ‘Mad Father’/‘Misao’ and Experiencing/Completing Both Games a Little While Later for Myself... Point is, They Bring a Lot of Nostalgia to Me. ((Hell, I’m a Few Months Away to The End of My First Year in Community College and I’m Turning 19 on September 19th.)) But, Knowing that These Games Have Been Updated to Their Full Potential on Steam...? It’s No Doubt that I’m Really Emotional Right Now. Total Props to Sen (Miscreant’s Room)!~

13 games to get you in the mood for Halloween, ranging from festively cute to mildly eerie to downright scary. Ordered roughly from no-horror to full-fledged horror.

1. Red Trees (Caramel) - A lovely little fetch-quest/puzzle game featuring a dark mystery monster lurking in the woods surrounding an idyllic small town… Very cute and gay with some slightly creepy undertones.

2. Ghost Party (Tuan & Marshall) - A calming little blue game where you play as a ghost and try to prevent the people touring your house from getting killed one by one. Lots of items to pick up. Also lots of deaths but not the scary kind.

3. After the Bell (@razrrgames) - A short & sweet fetch-quest game featuring gay ghost girls. Need I say more?

4. Free Spirits (PentagonBuddy & emmych) - This FABULOUS game is set in 1920′s NYC and follows the ghost-cajoling career of two sisters. There’s like four, five trans characters? Maybe more. I lost count. Lovely characters, writing, graphics…. everything, basically.

5. Halloween Flop (Demonfly Studios) - A light-hearted battle-based game featuring a trio of supernatural friends: a witch, a vampire, and an adorable ghost. Full of fun pop culture references and terrible puns. Very orange.

6. Halloween Bash (Demonfly Studios) - The prequel to Halloween Flop; basically the same thing, except purple and also more ‘80′s.

7. Monster Love Party (@maimiestoybox) - A bit darker in nature than the previous games on this list but still essentially light-hearted, this game follows a teacher who finds himself trapped in an abandoned Halloween supply store with three weird kids.

8. Trick & Treat (Rabbiton Books) - A puzzle/exploration game with horror elements in which a pumpkin maid searches for her witch creator in a cursed mansion on Halloween and stuffs her pockets with candy while she’s at it.

9. Misao (Sen (Miscreant’s Room)) - In this survival horror game you play as a student who wakes up to find her high school transported to a demonic realm. Is the spirit of her dead classmate to blame? Who knows! Play it and find out. (Extremely heavy TW on this game; please read the content warnings at the top of the game page before playing.)

10. From Next Door (SpaceZeta) - A creepy exploration game with great atmosphere in which you move into a nice new house…. With a mysterious locked room…. And a bunch of the old tenant’s stuff scattered around….. Not to mention the weird windowless building next door. What could go wrong?

11. The Witch’s House (Fummy) - A survival horror/puzzle classic in which you make your way slowly through a witch’s, uh, house, dodging death around every corner. There’s also a black cat who follows you around with unclear intentions. What else can I say about it? It’s a classic and if you haven’t played it already then you should.

12. Mad Father (Sen (Miscreant’s Room)) - A horror/puzzle/exploration packed with zombies, gore, mad science, an incredibly large mansion, and a stunning soundtrack. Has some genuinely scary moments as well as the B-movie aspects of an effects-heavy slasher. Quite lovable.

13. The Boogie Man (Uri) - Technically the third in its series but works just as well as a standalone. (The Crooked Man is also definitely worth your time, although its tone is quite different from TBM’s.) Play as a troubled detective whose couple’s retreat gets thrown off course by a gruesomely jolly serial killer who takes a particular interest in him. Don’t let the surface-level slasher aspects fool you–this is an immensely absorbing psychological thriller which I haven’t stopped thinking about since I first got all of its endings.
