Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness for Windows

Psychological survival horror game in pixels

In Indiesruption’s premium survival horror game Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness, you are plunged into a deeply engrossing adventure shrouded in mystery and suffused with anguish. In it, you must step into the shoes of Oliver Mills, a former clown who now has to navigate the dim-lit halls of the Victorian-era Petrescu Manor.

Investigate the Petrescu Manor

Vlad Circus’ storyline stems from the charred ruins of a 1920s freak circus, which once teemed with life. “Lazy Ollie,” in his quest for healing, must delve deep into the manor’s recesses. Explore a labyrinthine mansion with over 50 haunting locations, each filled with puzzles and horrifying creatures, all rendered in enchanting pixel art.

The 2D lighting system casts eerie shadows and illuminates the grotesque in fascinating detail. This system offers a unique perspective on the pixelated environment and enhances the overall dread that permeates through the game. However, do note that violence is an overbearing theme as well, making the game inappropriate for younger audiences.

Perfect for horror and puzzle game fans

Offering a chilling gameplay experience, Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness blends the charm of pixel art with the intensity of a psychological horror survival game. As Oliver Mills, players are thrust into an intricate maze of mystery and horror, exercising their problem-solving skills and courage to navigate the eerie Petrescu Manor.
