Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot.
Excerpt: I’m not a big fan of bloody horror and jump scares, but I do enjoy being chilled by suspense and psychological mind games, and Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness largely succeeds in this respect. The adventure game tasks involving locked doors and scavenger hunting are fun, and except for the final sequence, the combat segments shouldn’t bother non-action players too much, and the ones who do enjoy the adrenaline rush can easily switch to a more challenging mode. The story of a former circus troupe meeting up again years after a shared tragedy keeps you wanting more, and the mysterious circus director combined with the main character’s mental state really pulls you in. For only a four-hour game, the story is filled with surprises, and when it was over I wished the mansion had been bigger, with more rooms to explore and more puzzles to solve. Still, I had a good time while it lasted, and can heartily recommend Vlad Circus as being well worth the price of admission.
