Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus

Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus blends expert storytelling, interesting puzzles and finely crafted spooky pixel art to create a fantastic prequel game that leaves you wanting more of this insidious, addictive world.

Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus is a pretty good game. The graphics work nicely, the story is compelling and Josef, while a bit of a scumbag, is a likable enough protagonist. Unravelling his story is a worthwhile pursuit, and if you like a disturbing game, this might well be up your alley.

Indiesruption takes us back to the darkest corner of the human mind with Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus, a short and exquisite work that boasts a fantastic narrative. Seeing how Josef's fragmented mind is reconstructed in a world ravaged by madness and fanaticism feels like a divine combination of elements that elevate the title to the podium of the sublime. Unexpected and surprising, a sure recommendation.

Dark, odd, and certainly possessing a fair amount of creepy vibes, this pretty grim adventure is a decent enough follow-up to its predecessor

Vlad Circus: The Curse of Asmodeus is the follow-up I wasn't expecting, and one I wish could have been better. The gameplay is lighter, the story less rich and the tone even more bleak than Descend Into Madness. If this wasn't attached to a good prequel, this would be overlooked.

Boy, oh boy, Indiesruption has done it again! Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus is an absolute masterpiece and I cannot sing its praises enough. The tension of each passing moment, the visceral grotesque presentation of its darker moments, and the themes of desperation and despair all culminate into a game that'll keep you hooked from beginning to end. For any fans of horror and/or point-and-click adventures, simply do not sleep on this one; or better yet, play all three of Indiesruption's titles—you will not be disappointed!

The circus, the circus, the circus is on fire!

Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus is a pointless sequel that offers an explanation to a character that we didn't care about in the first game, and rather than improving on its predecessor's mechanics, it completely strips them back - offering an unneeded, lesser experience.
