Overview

About this game

Step into a world where fears become reality — and you are not just a witness, but a participant in the nightmare.

Suspense: Madman's Dream is a narrative-driven psychological horror inspired by real manifestations of mental disorders. Here, imagination and delusion are not fantasies — they are ways of existing.

Take on the roles of observer, creator, and madman — all at once. Explore a hospital, a magical forest, and a 1950s English house through the eyes of those whose minds are on the brink. Feel their world collapse: walls distort, memories blur, and shadows come to life.

Each environment is a reflection of the character’s inner world. Everything you see is rooted in reality — but filtered through a fractured, distorted mind. Piece together fragments of the story, examine the details, and find meaning in the chaos to understand what truly happened.

And maybe — just maybe — you'll answer the question:
Can anyone truly help a mind that's falling apart?

Game Features:

  • Gameplay time: 1–2 hours.

  • Voice-Controlled Gameplay:
    Use your voice to interact with the world, uncover hidden elements, and solve unconventional puzzles.

  • Deep Psychological Narrative:
    Multiple character stories — shaped by mental disorders and distorted perceptions of reality — intertwine into one dark and unsettling journey.

  • Challenging Puzzles and Disturbing Environments:
    Each location is filled with meaning, symbolism, and detail that can either guide you toward the truth… or pull you deeper into confusion.

  • Shifting Spaces and Surreal Horror:
    The world constantly transforms: scenes take on a psychedelic quality, and while nothing is truly real — the pain it causes the characters is.

  • A Scientific and Artistic Exploration of Psychosis:
    The game presents an interpretation of schizophrenia based on real symptoms and lived experiences — without clichés or supernatural tropes.

From the Developer:

Hi everyone. I'm already flattered if you're reading this. My name is Oscar. I'm a former doctor, and I've had the experience of working with people suffering from psychiatric disorders in a mental hospital, including in the forensic psychiatry department, where individuals who committed terrible acts due to their illnesses are treated.

I want you to understand how difficult this is. With mental disorders, people often don't even realize the severity of their condition. Some of the stories of the mentally ill amazed me deeply. Some of them have drifted so far from reality that their stories resembled science fiction movies or games.

Some elements may seem illogical from a gaming perspective, but believe me, they are logical if you refer to psychiatric textbooks.

Enjoy the game!
