After announcing the game’s appearance at next month’s Steam Next Fest, Blowfish Studios and developer Indiesruption have revealed an October 17th release date for Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness. The game will arrive on PC via Steam, as well as on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch on the same day.
In the year 1921, the beloved Vlad Circus fell to a devastating fire, killing hundreds of innocents and forever scarring the survivors. Haunted by the tragedy, the circus troupe disbanded, only to be reunited by a mysterious invitation from their original ringleader eight years later.
You are Oliver Mills, better known as his clown persona “Lazy Ollie.” Several years in the Pennhurst Asylum have proved ineffective in restoring his memories, but reconnecting with old friends and a lost love may do the trick. Unease festers in Ollie as he explores the Victorian-inspired Petrescu Manor, unaware of the sinister secret dying to be set free.
Manage Ollie’s stress and survive horrifying hallucinations while solving perplexing puzzles. Fight or flee from awful abominations. Recover tortured memories to assist with mysteries, and unravel the ghastly truth of that fateful day.
“Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness marries a creepy atmospheric setting with a haunting narrative full of evocative storytelling,” said Diego Cánepa, lead designer, Indiesruption. “Enthralled and disturbed by Ollie’s trauma-induced nightmares, players will be on their toes until the very end.”
