About this game

MADHOUSE is a retro horror action RPG with a chibi aesthetic -- a bloody re-imagining of an early 2000s indie cult classic. Blending gritty 90s punk horror with chaos, join Butch on a quest for revenge in search of his wife’s killer, exploring a dreary open world filled with monsters, maniacs, and other twisted characters. Slash or blast your way through enemies in intense, gore-soaked combat, buy guns, gear, and interact with NPCs the town of Grayville, and battle friends in a four-player local versus mode (playable online via Remote Play Together). With edgy themes and retro pixel art, MADHOUSE is perfect for players who crave macabre action RPGs with a punk edge.

⚠️MATURE CONTENT WARNING⚠️

MADHOUSE features frequent, stylized violence and gore in a retro pixel art style with chibi horror characters. Players engage in bloody combat against enemies and other playable characters in a four-player versus mode, with pixelated blood splatter effects, and encounter dark cinematic moments, such as the main character’s wife being killed in the opening cutscene. The game features mature themes including strong language and depictions of tobacco use, which includes underage smoking. Not for sensitive audiences.
