Mad Father vs realMyst
Mad Father
Mad Father is a rather terrifying horror-adventure game where you play as the young girl Aya who has lost her mother and is currently living with her dad. However, during the night of her mother's death anniversary, she was startled awake by her dad's screams and found that, somehow, the home she now lives in is filled with the undead and other unimaginable horrors. With her father's assistant, Maria, by her side, will they be able to escape these unholy creatures and perhaps save her father?The game has garnered plenty of critical acclaim mainly because of the incredible yet uncomfortable (the story was written by a Japanese) plot twists and partly because the game itself contains plenty of really terrifying jumpscares that will make you jump at least an inch off your seat.The voice acting and sound effects are amazing too as they managed to make the already scary game even more immersively creepy with echoes of perverted laughter and screams. The game also has some puzzles for you to solve but they are pretty easy and seemed secondary to the game.
Many players have compared Mad Father with another equally scary game, Helena. So, if you enjoy giving yourself a scare, you might want to check this game out.
realMyst
realMyst is, despite the similarity of the name, not simply a remake of the original game so that the younger generation and experience the game themselves; it provides a whole new trove of content that is not present in the older version, including a new Rime Age, optional free roam and zip navigation modes, bookmarking your progress, auto-save option and built-in interactive guides to help you along if you get stumped. Aside from the improved musical scores, the graphics in the game has also been updated to match with the times, with not only a day and night cycle (you'll get a flashlight for navigating at night) and weather patterns, but also advanced, dynamic and incredibly realistic effects.If you truly want to try out Myst, this is without a doubt the version that you should get. It's just so much better than the original in so many ways and most importantly, it lives up to the original's legacy.
