Mad Father review. I'm sorry

1st things 1st. SPOILER ALERT:IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THE GAME RUINED FOR YOU, DON'T READ.Okay, back to the review.I know I promised a kuroko no basuke review and I'm going to do it. Don't worry. It'll just be in the next post. More importantly! I just finished an RPG game called Mad Father and I just HAD to do the review. It's actually the third RPG game I've ever played and the ending just left me dumbfounded. It's quite a short game, when compared to you 10-hour long games but it's entertaining the whole way. You play a girl named Aya and you live in a mansion with your father, which is a mad scientist, and his assistant, Maria. Your mother passed away due to illness. Anyway, it is strongly pushed that Maria and you father were having an affair and all that. Ok, so, it's your mother's death's anniversary and it's midnight. You get a dream about your mother and wake up at the sound of your father's scream. You try to get to him and save him but discover that the dead bodies of your father's experiments are up and about. You also meet a blonde kid that helps you but he doesn't appear much(Finally a blonde kid in an RPG game that is good ||D(Ib and the Witch's house reference)) Anyway, you have to go through puzzles, stealth parts, quick time event parts, parts that make you wonder, you have a chainsaw and you CAN'T attack the enemies but can break barrels and vases? So, at the end, you discover that your mom was the cause of the curse and that you have to choose who to help. Help your dad and you MIGHT get the true ending. Help your mom and you get the worst. Sadly, knowing RPG games, the true ending wasn't going to be good so I didn't really have my hopes up but....why? So, after saving your father, with the last of her strength,my our mom shows you the truth, which is that your father was out to kill you so he could make you into a doll and keep you beautiful for eternity. He killed your mom, which accidentally heard him and was going to take you away, and like I said, was out to kill you. So, once you've found out, you start freaking out and your dad goes into a total psycho mode with his chainsaw and starts chasing you. You find Maria and she accidentally let's you pass, you escape and hide but Maria gets injured as your dad takes out his frustration on her, you help her, she begs forgiveness.Just so you know, throughout the whole game, I thought Maria was a butch but at the end, she was actually genuinely worried about you and I really felt for her. Anyway, so you try to escape but Maria collapses and asks you to go on without her and that she'll be following you. You escape to some hallway but a doll grabs your leg and you fall. Your dad is about to do you and as he yells "I love you!" a scalpel/knife stabs him and he collapses. He says I love you, Aya again but gets stabbed by three more knives/scalpels. It was Maria and you guys hug and all that but the crazy bugger comes back and tries again, only to get stabbed by the blonde kid. They all leave and he tells you that he was asked to help by Aya's mother and it was very sweet. He tells the two of them that he has to burn the house down to prevents history from repeating itself but he wanted Aya to remember all the lives sacrificed that day and all that. He kisses her on the forehead as a charm and it was a TOTAL "I have to ship this" moment. Maria and Aya leave and watch as the house burns down. They leave, with Maria leading, but Aya stays behind and finds a red book. This is where it gets a bit f#@ked. It shows a cottage that is supposed to be a clinic in the middle of a forest. A girl has come to ask for a free checkup cause her family couldn't afford it. The doctor is actually adult Aya and it all seems happy happy until the end. She asks the girl to lie down, calm down and take her anesthetic thing. Why did a checkup need that, cause "like father, like daughter" The camera slowly moves toward the next room to show dolls and An old Maria talking to herself about how it runs in the family, doctor. BLAM! Dumbfounded. The boy burned the house, her mom died, her dad died, MANY people died and she follows in her dad's footprints? Why???
Anyway, I have to go now. I haven't done my homework yet and the lessons are first period so yeah, Bye~
