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.
