Big Story Update Coming May 2026!

MADHOUSE Act 1 Story Update -- Coming May 2026

The biggest update in MADHOUSE's Early Access history is almost here!

The Act 1 Story Update brings a full narrative conclusion to Act 1, effectively doubling the amount of story content currently in the game. New dungeons, new bosses, new cutscenes, and a climactic ending that sets the stage for what's coming next.

What's new in this update:

• The Meat Locker dungeon -- a brutal new area with its own enemies, mechanics, and atmosphere

• The Jack boss fight -- the Act 1 climax you've been building toward

• Full cutscene sequences including Butch's backstory, the confrontation with Jack, and the emotional Act 1 conclusion

• The Carnival stage featuring the Mecha Bozo boss fight

• New NPC dialogue and world-building throughout

• Bug fixes and polish across the board

I had originally intended to scale the price with the amount of content as the game moved through Early Access, however, I will not be doing that -- the game will stay at $4.99 until it moves out of Early Access to keep it approachable for new players.

Watch the trailer above and wishlist if you haven't already.

This is just the beginning.
