Mad Father is a fun 2D pixel horror game created by an independent Japanese developer. In this game, as well as in many other projects of a similar genre and style, there are several different endings. Each ending is a consequence of certain actions that the protagonist performed earlier. How to open all the finals? This will help step-by-step walkthrough of Mad Father, which tells about several key points.
A few words about the plot
The events of the plot develop around an eleven-year-old girl named Ayia, who lives with her father in an old mansion in northern Germany. A year ago, Aya lost her mother, and this event left a heavy imprint on the whole family. Aya’s father is engaged in some mysterious experiments in the depths of his basement, where no one can go down except himself and his assistant Maria.
Once the main character wakes up in the middle of the night, as she hears a scream. After that, truly nightmarish events begin to occur in the mansion, and we take Ayu under control and begin our passage of the game Mad Father. It is worth noting that the plot here has an unexpected turn, so if one of our readers plans to go through the game on their own, then we warn about spoilers in the next part of the article.
First bad ending
At the very end of Mad Father, when all the adventures are already behind, the player will have the opportunity to make his last major choice. Attention: the final will depend on this choice. We specifically choose the option that will fulfill our mother’s desire and allow her to take our father with her. Then we watch the video, after which we find ourselves with Aya in an empty room. We pass a little to the north and encounter a frightened Mary, who is clearly in shock. Aya explains to her that her father died.
The next scene takes us to a church where both heroines pray for the peace of their departed loved ones. When the girl is going to tell the assistant that there may stay in their house, Maria suddenly rises and rushes in our direction. The screen darkens and we hear a piercing scream. We watch the next scene in which distraught Maria is going to kill Aija and continue the Doctor’s nightmare experiments.
The second bad ending of the game Mad Father
The main condition for obtaining this ending is not to help Mary. The key to her room is also better not to use. We get almost to the final and choose the option in which we save the father with magical water. We continue the passage of Mad Father to the very end and find out the terrible truth. Spoilers: it turns out that Aya’s father has long been cheating on her mother, in addition, it was he who became the cause of her death (and not a disease, as we were told at the very beginning of the game).
After terrible revelations, you need to immediately save. Press the Z button, break the door and run! Aya will be driven to the end by a distraught father with a chainsaw. We run to the end of the corridor, wait for the moment when our father approaches us and immediately pull the lever. Then we make our way past the father and move north. Entering the room, we will meet with Maria - after the next video, the Doctor will attack her. Select the option "Do not help Mary", and then leave the room. At the end of Mad Father's passage, Aya still dies at the hands of her father and becomes one of his dolls.
Third, “good” finale
To get this ending you need to select the option “Help Mary”, when she will bleed after the attack of a crazy father. We bring her bandages and find a way out of the estate. After that, Maria will leave us and go in an unknown direction, despite the persuasion of Aya.
A little later, in church, a crazy father will attack the girl again. While one of his dolls will hold Aya, he will try to kill her with a chainsaw. Suddenly, knives pierce his body. The wound is fatal, and the father dies. After him we will see Mary - it is to her that we owe our salvation. With another knife, she kills the doll. We are watching a few more videos from which we learn additional details of the third ending.
In the final of Mad Father, we will be shown a scene from which it will become clear that the grown-up Aya followed in her father's footsteps and also became a doctor. Moreover, the role of an assistant is the same as Mary plays before. However, the similarities with her father in Aya’s life do not end there either - it turns out that the girl has inherited the same mental disorder and is now engaged in making creepy dolls out of people.
