Masochisia PC

Masochisia is a narrative adventure game developed by Oldblood.

Story

Masochisia tells the story of a young man, who is certain that he will become a human monster in the future. This conviction did not come from nowhere – both of his parents are sadists and undoubtedly passed this inclination to him in the genes. As a matter of fact, his older brother already walks the same path. Moreover, the protagonist is haunted by brutal hallucinations that foretell the crimes which he will commit sooner or later.

The game takes on difficult themes, including mental illnesses, depression as well as both physical and psychological violence experienced by children.

Mechanics

Masochisia is a narrative adventure game. It is non-linear to a large extent and is shaped by our decision and actions. The story revolves around the issue of free will – everything in the protagonist’s life pushes him towards becoming a psychopath, but his fate is not sealed yet. We may either fight our nature or fully succumb to it.

Most of the time, we explore subsequent locations, have conversations, and make decisions that direct the story towards different paths. Thanks to the last of activities listed above, each playthrough creates a different story.
