Haunted PS1 Madvent Calendar 2020
A downloadable game for Windows
Looking for shelter from the harsh Winter weather, you approach the abandoned cabin out in the woods. As you reach for the doorknob, a gust of icy wind throws the door open, pushing you in. The fireplace lights ablaze and you close the door behind you. In the center of the room, you see it...that festive amalgam of 24 doors: The Madvent Calendar. Each door will lead you to a different strange world of horror and delight, but may only be opened if that day has arrived!
The Madvent Calendar is a collaboration from many developers in The Haunted PS1 Community. A total of 24 haunted scenes or games unlocked each day thru December 24th! We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season!
"Sounds brilliant, and dare I say, more appealing than Christmas itself." - PCGamer
"...a delicious selection of 24 bloody treats unlocked over the 24 days running up to Christmas." - Rock Paper Shotgun
"...it's just weird enough to become a Christmas tradition." - CBR
The game launcher was created by colter. This project was organized by z_bill. Countless game, art, and music contributions by the varying and talented members of The Haunted PS1 Community! (play the game for the full credits!)

I really like this its a lot more neater then most horror games that you would find on steam it opens a new tab with the game or "gift" you clicked and it is like a spooky ver of a christmas calendar but with indie games and i like the download page it looks like a lota work was put into it not as much work as the games but still if you want some spooky scary games to hype you up for christmas THEN GET THIS GAME!

The Madvent Calendar has come and gone, and I think it’s a brilliant idea that should make a return every year. I’m a big fan of the idea of keeping titles locked until their day arrives. It was also a lot of fun seeing developer talents come together and experience their unique visions through their eyes.
That said, as much as I love the idea, I wish more of the entries contained more substance. There were a few real standouts; excellent ideas and execution that stand well on their own. But there were also entries included in this collection that appeared to be very low-effort. At times the experience was over before I realized what I was playing.
Overall, I think everyone did a magnificent job in bringing this project together. I hope to see it again next year. And, as always, thank you for allowing us to experience your creations.
While there are some cool titles in this collection, I’d do it all over just to play Formation again for the first time. I think Formation is a sterling example of a game that offers plenty of spook, exploration, mystery and suspense-building through storytelling. Fantastic!
Streamed the last few days and it was a good mix of weird and spook adventure. No clue how to beat Slumber though.
Overall, this was a great collab with a lot of quality works in it, and I hope the devs involved feel good about what they've done. Also, I liked the surprise ending/credits.day 22 is absolutely gorgeous. creepy story, not too long, ton too cryptic, perfect !
day 23 is a beautiful voidscape to wander
24 : still haven't beaten it ! :D
This made my Christmas. Thank you for the wonderful calendar!
P.S.: Not having controller support for Day 22 is disappointing, since it feels like a Nintendo 64 game. Perhaps you can implement it for those who haven't played yet (I would definitely play it again)!
Thanks so much for the community. Can't wait to play more of these types of games in the future!
Here's a full playlist of all playthroughs + bonus videos and a Day 25 Recap video. Thanks for the hours of fun!

Finally able to hop on and give these games a go, will probably stream the rest though!
Played some more of these weird and wonderful games. I love how absolutely crazy some of these can get.
Finally Got around to playing this, much wow with the PSX and art gallery style game play. I'll eventually finish this game, one day, but here is the games I have played thus far
I didn't make it to the end in time for Christmas, but I still had fun with the ones I did today. Much 90s nostalgia.
I will likely finish the rest in a stream on Sunday.Recap/Replay of some of the games I struggled with or stuff I missed! Enjoy and Merry Christmas! 🎄
I believe in Him
Final Day (24) Finished. The game as all has closed in a already waited way: A returning to home, to family. Haunted PS1 Guys, this is one more amazing project that you've made here. Congrats! We eagerly hope for the next big anthology. Thank you guys for make a good work, and Happy Holidays to you all.
Thank you to all the devs and the whole Haunted PSX community for all the love they put into their work. Merry Christmas" - MHG
All 24 days with individual videos (No Commentary) Full Playthrough -Madvent Playlist
OKAY ALL DONE!!!!
DAY 16 - 24 starts @ 1:49:28
Madvent Calendar Ending @ 3:23:26
Absolutely splendid, I hope y'all continue this for next year.
What a ghoulish gift for the Holidays from my new favourite group! Merry Christmas!
I really enjoyed playing all 24 of these super spooky games. Thank you to everyone involved!
The final 4 games! We made it...but at what cost?
this Collection of games is so rad, I dont put them all in the video because then I'd just have an hour long video but i highly recommend this to anyone that has a pc to play this!
nearing the end! here's days 19-21, and y'all... they're all amazing... but Day 21, Formation, can GET IT. SO GOOD!!
Day 23 FInished. Weird, very Weird...
‘Down in the Dungeon’ is the real deal! Takes me back to my childhood of when fun places that we make our forts can turn against us. Where watching a horror movie over the weekend makes the imagination run wild.
It's a funny idea. I have tried only a game number 22 and it was cool.
Day 22 Finished. Okay, This game right here is a definitive proof that we need a Haunted Jam only for N64 styled games. It's like a corrupted version of Zelda: you know that aesthetic and style are there, but with a twisted horror flavor. A good candidate to being a full game, depending of the creator, of course.
