About the Game

At first, there were three of them... 

Mado, Ken, and Lia are friends... The kind who waste detention arguing, making stupid jokes...

Until one day, they find something weird about their classroom...

They find a door that shouldn't exist.

At the back of their classroom is an entrance to another room... despite there being nowhere for that room to physically exist...

So naturally, they go inside.

The next day, Lia calls Mado.

She barely explains what's happening before giving Mado a strange instruction:

Find Ken... Ask him if he remembers me.

Ken doesn't remember Lia.

Not as a friend... He doesn't even remember the existence of her. 

The entire time, Mado remembers there were three of them...

What counts as proof that somebody ever existed?

Videos... Messages... Photographs... Marks on a wall?

But when the evidence itself stops agreeing with you...

Mado Marks is a short psychological horror visual novel about three friends, an impossible room, unreliable memories, and the desperate need to leave behind proof that something — or someone — really existed.

Key Features:

  • A psychological horror story about friendship and existence.

  • Choice-driven progression where Mado decides how to deal with the impossible. 

  • Three distinct endings shaped by Mado's decisions.

  • Shifting perspectives between Mado, Ken, and Lia as the same mystery begins affecting each of them differently.

  • Orthographic environments, character close-ups, and surreal visual sequences that shift alongside the characters' perception of reality.

  • Creepy music and sound effects.
