Hell(o) Martyrs,

Madmind Studio is thrilled to present you a new trailer for SUCCUBUS – a spin-off to the iconic and widely discussed Agony. This time, as the title of the game suggests, Succubus named Vydija – a lusty demon based on religious beliefs – becomes the main protagonist.

Along with the new trailer, we are launching a social media campaign in which players will be able to make direct contact with the main character of the game. Thanks to the phone that went straight into her cave, Vydija has a connection with our human world and is running her own account on Twitter, sharing additional bits of information from the game's world as well as her thoughts on various topics.

From now on, you can ask questions to the heroine as well as follow her profile full of photos and videos.

Visit Vidija’s Twitter profile.




The main character of the game is Succubus Vydija. Wild and evoking the desire in her victims' demon, whose story started in the original – Agony and Agony UNRATED, where she received her own single-player campaign.

With the disappearance of the rightful rulers of hell, the remaining demons have chosen their new ruler – the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. Raising their new empire from the corpses of sinners helped the new king, Nimrod, and his queen Vydija, to control the chaos left by the former overlord.

However, the new, honorable title of the queen of hell proved not to be the best match with the savage nature of Succubus. She gave up the luxury of walking on carpets sewn from the skins of martyrs, choosing to live her life in the wild instead, finding her simple pleasures in hunting.

When satisfying her primal instincts, the new queen crosses her roads with the powerful Baphomet who, along with his army, is pursuing the soul of King Nimrod. Being humiliated and betrayed by her own species, the heroine regains her strengths with only one clear target – REVENGE!

Take care,
Madmind Studio Team

Hello Martyrs,

It is our pleasure to present SUCCUBUS, an action-oriented horror combining dynamic and brutal combat, with an intriguing storyline! The game is a spin-off to Agony!

The main character of the game is Succubus, a wild and lustful demon. You were able to learn a part of her story in the original Agony and Agony UNRATED, where she received her own single-player campaign.

The new queen of Hell has chosen a life in the wilderness instead of the luxuries besides her king Nimrod. During her travels, she meets the powerful Baphomet who, together with his army, is going to get the soul of Nimrod. Captured, maimed and betrayed by her own species, the Succubus is left with only one goal that matters – REVENGE!

We are exactly halfway to achieve the beloved 666, so we invite everyone to share your opinion about Agony UNRATED and give us a thumb up in your review. There is nothing that could help us more.

Hell(o) Martyrs,

We are pleased to announce that we have just started working on the next patch for the basic version of Agony for PS4 and Xbox One consoles!

The patch will contain many improvements and introduce new features known from the UNRATED version of the game. Some of them are:

• traps
  
• level design improvements (new paths, changed item locations etc.)
  
• new lighting system
  
• new skill tree
  
• a new martyr model and some texture improvements
  
• mini-map and a full map
  
• new ending for Succubus
  
• Succubus mode and Agony mode available from the start
  
• a new setting and boss fight for Agony Mode
  
• improvements in the main menu and the pop-up menu

PLEASE NOTE: This patch will not introduce the uncensored scenes available in Agony UNRATED. Agony on consoles will remain a PEGI 18+ game but will be enriched with numerous improvements affecting gameplay and visuals.

The long time we need to perform this patch is caused by the fact that Agony UNRATED contains many changes from the original, and the reconstruction and optimization of the console version will require many weeks of tests and patches. We must ensure that the game progress and trophies/achievements you have already won will not disappear with the new patch.

The UNRATED version of the game was not prepared with consoles in mind, which is why developing the new console patch means large amounts of work and time. And we will do it. We want to do it for you because we actually care.

Thank You for Your support and patience,
Madmind Studio

Hell(o) Martyrs,

After the announcement of our new project called Paranoid, you have started to ask the obvious question: What about Agony?

We want to assure you that the Agony brand is doing very well! With the release of Agony Unrated, we were able to restore our game to the state we are happy with, and most of all – You are happy with.

Agony Unrated is a much better-rated game than the basic version, and it is a clear signal for us that we are on the right track when it comes to improving our games. We know in which direction we want to go, and this will certainly affect all our new productions.

But with the future ahead of us, we do not leave the past behind! We are going to continue to support Agony, which as a brand is now stronger than ever!

Agony Unrated is going to get the first patch this week! It repairs a lot of issues that you have reported in your feedback, for which, of course, as always, we are grateful.

Besides that, we're just finishing working on the Steam Collector Cards for Agony Unrated, which will also be released very soon.

Madmind Studio at the moment employs 23 people and outsources some more. The team has been divided into two groups. Some of us focus exclusively on Paranoid, the rest of us continue to work on Agony.

So, there you have it. Do not worry, the Red Goddess watches over Agony and isn’t going anywhere!

Thank You for Your continuous support,
The Madmind Studio

We are working quietly on the Agony Unrated patch, but today ...
Today we would like to present our brand new game, which has been under production for some time now.

Paranoid is a survival-horror game, combining a deep, psychological story with dynamic and brutal gameplay. The game is set to release on Steam.

About Paranoid

The game tells the story of Patrick Calman, a 31-year-old man who has lost his entire family under mysterious circumstances. His parents died violently and his sister went suddenly missing. Trauma associated with the loss of his loved ones destroyed Patrick's psyche. His own apartment became his prison.
One day Patrick gets a call and the voice on the phone seems to belong to his sister. Thirteen years after the disappearance, she announces her comeback. To learn the truth about everything Patrick will have to leave his life of seclusion, exposing himself to horrible experiences that will put him on the verge of madness.
