Madnight 2025 Has Ended – Now the Hellish wait begins!
The World of Agony is growing!
Dear fans! We are pleased to announce that our universe, connecting all the games we produce, is growing even more, thanks to the Tormentor, in which you will find a lot of references to Agony, Succubus or Paranoid.
But that's not all. During Madnight 2025, we answered your questions about Sirens, Lust of God, Agony: Lords of Hell and we revealed many details about these productions.
Madnight 2025 is over, and what a night it was. 59 minutes of pure, unfiltered horror, a deep dive into Tormentor, a fight against censorship, and surprises that left our audience speechless. But this is just the beginning.
Now, Tormentor is officially on Kickstarter. If you want this game to be as brutal, raw, and uncompromising as we envision, we need your support.

Free code for Paranoid owners
Hi,
We are pleased to announce that our new game - Nymphomaniac: Sex Addict, which will premiere in early access on August 27, 2024, will be available for free for Paranoid owners!
To get your Nymphomaniac key, you must meet the following requirements:
1. Buy Paranoid before the release of Nymphomaniac: Sex Addict. 2. Go to your Steam profile page in a web browser. 3. Copy the link to your profile. 4. Make sure your game library is public (on August 26-28) so we can verify ownership of the game. 5. Make sure that your profile on August 26-28 contains the email address from which you are sending the message. For example:
6. Send an email directly to Vydija: vydija.mmnd@gmail.com In the content of the email:
- Enter "To My Beloved Vydija" in the email subject - insert a link to your Steam profile - type "I own the Paranoid game and would like to receive a free Steam code for Nymphomaniac: Sex Addict." - type "I consent to the processing of e-mail addresses by Madmind Studio S.A. for the duration of the promotion."
7. Done! Vydija will respond to your message on the day of Nymphomaniac's release, sending you a code for the game.
Of course, you can also add something from yourself in your message. Our Vydija likes to read love letters.
Nymphomaniac: Sex Addict is a game intended for adult audiences only, which means it cannot be automatically added to your Steam accounts. You must be willing to do so. You will do this by following the steps described above.
Introducing Nymphomaniac, an innovative game with unique gameplay mechanics focused on risk management and social interaction, coming soon in Early Access formula!
A visually stunning story about a nymphomaniac who loves her body, sex and adrenaline. All this presented in a photorealistic audiovisual setting.
The game develops the story of Patrick Calman's neighbor, Vydija. The action of the game takes place several years after the events known from Paranoid, and our heroine managed to slightly modernize her apartment and register on a dating website where she meets new partners.
Nymphomaniac is a combination of eroticism, thriller and relaxation game. It's up to the player whether they want to just spend another day relaxing with Vydiya, or whether they want to risk leaving the apartment or meeting a stranger.
We are pleased to announce that this title will be available FOR FREE to people who have purchased Paranoid. We will provide more information about this soon.
If you want to know more about the project, check out the recording of our last livestream, where we talk about Nymphomaniac in detail (56 min).
