Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness, the 2D pixel-art horror adventure from developer Indiesruption (@indiesruption) and publisher Blowfish Studios (@blowfishstudios), unleashes pixelated madness on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, and Nintendo Switch, as well as Windows PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG today.

In Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness, discover a story full of mystery and pain where every shadow hides a twisted secret or vicious threat, and no one is safe from tragedy. Experience the chilling story of a 1920s freak circus that burned to the ground, and the grotesque quest to found the circus anew. Follow the tormented Oliver Mills as he struggles to survive and escape.

On a day of sudden tragedy, Vlad Circus’ joyous reputation was replaced with sorrow and mourning. Hundreds were killed in the blazing fire, performers and attendees alike, forcing the once tight-knit troupe to disband. After eight years of no contact, a mysterious letter from the circus’ former ring leader brings the group together again.

Peer into the fractured mind of former circus clown Oliver Mills, aka “Lazy Ollie.'' Maintain Ollie’s stress levels while exploring the dark halls of the Victorian-inspired Petrescu Manor. Rekindle old bonds from happier days, even as unspeakable horrors lurk in the shadows.

Hazy memories and grotesque hallucinations plague Ollie’s senses, worsening the deeper he dares to venture. Encounter and survive the horrifying abominations stalking the halls of the mansion while conquering mysterious puzzles. Reclaim lost memories from that traumatic day, piecing together the terrifying truth before Ollie’s sanity runs out completely.

Fall into the evocative pixel art, envelop yourself in the all-encompassing sound, and be enthralled by rich dialogue.
