Madness Starts Young
Madness Starts Young is an indie walking simulator game where players explore a mysterious, living museum filled with art and voices from past visitors. The story unfolds as you wander through over 4,500 pieces of artwork, organized chronologically and by medium, spanning from childhood to adulthood.

Players control a minibot using a headset and devices, interacting with artworks to uncover hidden narratives. The game blends written storytelling with exploration, allowing players to engage with text only when desired. With 60 distinct sections, ranging from intimate to expansive, the museum reflects the creator’s personal journey through art and memory. Madness Starts Young offers a thoughtful, introspective adventure that invites curiosity and reflection. It’s a unique blend of creativity and exploration. This game is perfect for fans of atmospheric storytelling and artistic discovery.
