The Recipe of Madness is a creepy exploration game about trying to find your way out of a mansion. You went to interview the owner, but he's nowhere to be seen and now you're locked inside. The game takes under an hour to complete. Gameplay consists of looking through dark rooms for notes that slowly reveal the backstory, and keys to unlock new areas to explore. One downside of the game is that even with a flashlight feature, the game is still very dark and so certain things (keys, locks) can possibly be overlooked, leading to fruitless backtracking only to realize you missed something that was under your nose the whole time. While the ending did feel a little abrupt, I enjoyed the unsettling atmosphere of the game. There is one true jumpscare in the game, plus a handful of times that sudden sounds (unexpected but nothing so extreme as screaming) are used to startle the player, so if you prefer to avoid that kind of thing this is not the game for you. Recommended for horror game fans looking for a exploration-focused walking sim with a menacing atmosphere.
