Better than Mad Father? ( and other questions )

[Andrew R]

About how long is the game? How would you describe the challenge / difficulty? Was this really made by one person? Thank You

[Tellah]

* How long?
It probably took me 1-2 hours to complete (with the epilogue), but I've replayed it with the other protagonist and I played the freeware version of Misao, so I kinda knew what I was doing (there are MANY changes between the freeware and this version, though).

* Challenge/Difficulty
It's REALLY easy to die in this game- like sometimes just examining one wrong object can kill you. That being said... it still feels pretty 'fair' because it has a very nice quicksave system and I don't think it will allow you to save while you are in an unwinnable situation. I wouldn't say the puzzles are too obtuse either- mostly a lot of exploration and avoiding the 40+ ways to die.

* Better than Mad Father?
...>> Well... I like it better than Mad Father. I'd say that the plot is thinner than Mad Father's, and the atmosphere is both dark and more than a little quirky... but Misao is one of my favorite horror RPGMaker/Wolf RPG games.

As for whether it was made by one person or not... I'm not really sure, sorry.

[Andrew R]

Thank you!

Aki was startled by the phone and gave a last breath

PS
It is made by the same person.

[Tellah]

Ahh, I misunderstood the question- I thought it was 'did one person do everything' not 'did the same person make Misao and Mad Father.'

...and yeah it's cheesy but I liked the phone thing XD

To save all confusion, its made by the same person. And it is one person: Sen

[Blattdorf]

Sen makes great games. I'm definitely looking forward to more after Mad Father and Misao.

[Andrew R]

But exactly who is this Mr.Sen? :) :) :)

Do they have some sort of website or something that i can follow since i cant find them via google, only nhs pages on special needs kids.

I personally prefer Mad Father to Misao but, having seen Let's Plays of both freeware versions, I felt no hesitance at all in actually buying these, which should account for something.

The more definitive questions have alredy been answered here, so I will just go on to say that the harassment Misao went through brought back some unpleasant memories in my own life (except for the more sexual aspects, thank god), so Mad Father was a lot more easy to digest, and I grew more attached to characters in Mad Father, such as the blonde boy with one eye and Aya, whereas in Misao I find most characters fairly unlikeable. Just my opinion, of course.

I want to know what Sen's favorite TV show is and if he likes cats or dogs better...

I use "they" for gender neutral. A lot of Japanese Game Devs online don't disclose their gender...

I'm afraid I don't know those answers lol

[Nehehyr]

I wouldnt call this game better than Mad Father I believe they are equally good, Misao is more relatable but Mad Father has a story you get envoloped in and interested. Like I as a huge fan of Sen, actually cosplay as Male Aki from Misao and Alfred Drevis (Father) from Mad Father

Whoa! Blast from the past!
