Happy Halloween!

This is Jon Oldblood, just wanted to post a quick update to say thank you to everyone who has been so supportive with the reviews, emails, direct messages etc. I never really thought anyone would want to play a game like Masochisia and I've been blown away by the support I've received. If you haven't had a chance to play Masochisia yet, Halloween is the perfect time! PLUS, the game is on sale for the Holiday! Check out what some of these websites had to say:

Reviews

“...A narrative-heavy horror adventure that places you in the role of an abused boy who may be on the path to becoming a brutal killer. It's spooky, effective and well done.” - Polygon “This game is not for the faint of heart... Masochisia is a refreshing change of pace for the point and click horror genre.” - The Escapist "I had a hard time writing this review because I had so many questions that haunted me over the days after my playthrough! 85/100" - OPNoobs "If you’ve got no problem delving into some of the darker corners of the human mind, this is a solid pick-up." - Twinfinite “...When you realize that many of the events portrayed in Masochisia actually happened, the more uncomfortable you’ll become. Art imitating life may prove a little too much for some to stomach.” - The Digital Fix

What's Next for Masochisia

I'm excited to say that I do have some small updates planned for Masochisia! These updates will likely be coming in November and will include some small tweaks and changes including some updates to dialogue and maybe some new secretive events? Maybe! We'll see... The additional events will depend on how successful I will be able make some things work but regardless, there will be some updates posted that does include a few small tweaks and fixes. I'm also planning on sharing some free stuff for everyone that owns the game in November, so stay posted there! I will post another announcement once that is live for everyone. What kind of free stuff? You will just need to wait and see! If you're interested in knowing what I will be working on next, feel free to follow my Twitter account: https://twitter.com/jonoldblood Thank you again for all of your support at launch and have an amazing Halloween! More news coming in the next few weeks!

Developers Note: Masochisia is an experimental take on psychological horror games as a narrative. Individuals struggling with depression, abuse or mental illness may be uncomfortable with some of the themes. The experience is intended for mature audiences.

No one ever really understands you...

...do they?

"Extensive psychological abnormalities with a genetic predisposition to sadomasochistic tendencies."

But-- that's not the question, the question is what are you going to do about it? Yes, you're crazy. But so was your Father, your Mother, your Brother. So, if we're being honest with each other, we can't say we're all that surprised are we? The visual hallucinations, the aural terrors, the sensory overloads… more daily routine for you than a burden! If anything, you seem to be almost thriving- in your own peculiar way...

Maybe...

"...A mental make-up characterized by paranoid psychosis..."

Based on a true story.
