“This game was really good. I was looking for a horror game that didnt seem rushed, or overworked. This game was the perfect length just enough to make it seem like the creators actually cared. The gameplay is also very…”
“8/10. MADiSON was a really solid game and I had a great time with it. The scares were genuinely good, the story was interesting, and the length felt just right. The photo camera mechanic was cool, even if it wasn’t…”

“Good but for the price way too short”
“Great game, puzzles, jumpscares and all, however at this price point, too short of a game. I love it though, and have replayed it more than a few times already. Worth the buy if on sale.”

“Very solid horror experience here, with a pretty good storyline too. This game knows how to do a jumpscare, though I'd say they had became a tad repetitive by the end. The Blue Knees character and background story was my favorite part of the game. Freaky dude. Ending of the game…”
