Psychological horror adventure Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness is getting a sequel from developer Indiesruption and Australian-based publisher, Blowfish Studios. As announced, Vlad Circus: Curse Of Asmodeus expands on the original game through the eyes of Josef Petrescu, brother of the titular Vlad.
In this game, he’ll “confront his darkest fears” as he returns to the freak circus of Descend Into Madness to unravel his “twisted fascination,” while uncovering dark secrets – including a “horrifying” curse that must be lifted. Here’s the full story, per the game’s description:
“Uncover the horrors of the asylum as Josef races to decipher clues and set his friends free from the tormenting clutches of the sinister demon Asmodeus. Employ a keen eye, a sharp wit, and steady nerves to solve tricky puzzles and avoid the fatal consequences of failure.”
As with its predecessor, Vlad Circus: Curse Of Asmodeus will be a graphic adventure adapting elements of the point-and-click and horror survival genres. As you travel through the game, you’ll need to chart multiple timelines and locations, and figure out the ideal path forward by collecting clues and forming “crucial revelations” that make sense of the past.
Only then can Josef escape his curse and and expel the demon that plagues him.
