100% off: Unreal Engine 5 horror game available for free

Madness Inside is a psychological horror walking simulator developed and published by ZV GAMES, released on December 4, 2024. Players step into the role of Lieutenant Vic Voyt, who, while chasing a dangerous criminal, unexpectedly finds himself trapped in an abandoned psychiatric hospital – once the site of horrific experiments. Exploring its eerie corridors, players solve puzzles and gather clues to uncover the hospital’s dark past and find a way out. According to the developer, the game takes 60 to 80 minutes to complete, though those who want to dive deeper can spend more time unraveling its mysteries. The story features two different endings, offering some replay value.

Since its release, Madness Inside has gathered only around 30 reviews on Steam, but 80% of them are positive. Players praise its intense atmosphere, strong sound design and dark environments, which create an eerie and immersive experience. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game also impresses with its lighting and shadow effects, enhancing the overall mood. However, it’s not without flaws. The short playtime, technical issues and unclear objectives have drawn criticism. Some players also find certain scares predictable or overdone, which dampens the horror experience.

Madness Inside is usually priced at around $7, but it's currently available for free on itch.io. However, it’s unclear how long the offer will last. For those who prefer Steam, the game is on sale with a 55% discount until March 10, bringing the price down to $2.95.
