Synopsis:

Hamilton is stuck in an endless cycle of abuse, pain and mental illness. His father is an abusive alcoholic, his mother has hallucinations and his elder brother is devout masochist. But an angel, Michael, with visions of the future, promises a new life - but one that requires sacrifice - and he drives Hamilton to do terrible things. When he realizes the path he is on, will he be able to change or will he embrace the monster he is destined to become?

Embracing the Pain

Even though I play a lot of AAA games (sometimes paying too much for them - though I've weened myself off that particular habit), I also do my best to seek out smaller games that are a bit different. Since I'm also a fan of the horror genre, Masochisia peaked my interest. As such, this is the only game, thus far, released by Jon Oldblood, a developer out of Texas who created the game on his own, not really expecting many people to play it. I see why - Masochisia is a very unsettling game, full of disturbing images, dark themes and based on a very real (and very evil) person. Yet it expects you to somewhat empathize, with a faint glimmer of hope, but never letting you escape the horror. It's not super popular on Steam, but I found it to be a truly memorable game - even if it left me a bit ...
