Final Girl: Madness in the Dark

Feature Film Expansion

The therapy is mandatory — and survival is not guaranteed.
Madness in the Dark is a Feature Film expansion for the Final Girl series, plunging players into the halls of Wolfe Asylum, where treatment takes a terrifying turn and sanity is a fragile thing.

Here, the threat is The Ratchet Lady, a killer who believes she’s helping her victims by “fixing” them — twisting therapy into something far more dangerous. Her methods turn ordinary people into violent maniacs, forcing you to make impossible choices: calm them down… or put them down before they kill you.

⚠️ Important: Core Box Required
