G-LYFE Nation, if you’re in the mood for some mind-bending spooks, Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness has rolled into town. Developer Indiesruption, known for Nine Witches, and publisher Blowfish Studios are dishing out a 2D pixel-art horror adventure. Get your hands on this psychological mayhem on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. Oh, and did we mention it’s just in time for Halloween? Backwards compatibility is in the mix, so no sweat if you’re not on the latest hardware.
A Dark Past Unfolds
The carnival vibes aren’t what they used to be. Vlad Circus used to be all about that popcorn and laughter, but then tragedy struck. A fire erupted, claiming lives of hundreds—both performers and attendees. After eight years of radio silence, a letter from the ex-ring leader has managed to reunite the dispersed crew.
Wandering the Maze of a Broken Mind
You’ll be stepping into the oversized shoes of Oliver Mills, better known as “Lazy Ollie.” Your mission? Navigate Ollie’s stress levels while creeping through the Victorian-esque Petrescu Manor. You’re not alone though; phantoms from the past join you, but be warned—unspeakable things are waiting in the dark corners.
Visions or Nightmares? Choose Wisely
Prepare to question reality itself. Ollie’s noggin is a mess of hazy memories and vivid hallucinations that intensify the deeper you go. Face grotesque abominations and unravel enigmatic puzzles. Before Ollie completely loses his marbles, reclaim memories to piece together what really went down on that fateful day.
Indiesruption Weighs In
Diego Cánepa, Lead Designer at Indiesruption, made it clear this game is designed to shake you up. Expect to teeter between what’s real and what’s a figment of Ollie’s demented imagination. But the real question is, are you truly safe either way?
