Just like all the other Dark Pictures games, the game has tons of replay value thanks to the different decisions and there are also many collectibles to find. The most enjoyable part of this type of game is figuring out how everything works and what choices lead to death. Some instances that lead to death can be quite surprising, so you can expect a few characters to die on your first playthrough. Just like the other games in the series, you decide who lives and who dies based on your decisions and actions. Some of them are very headstrong and some seem kind of boring from the get go, but all of them change somewhat as the story progresses. One of the best parts about the game is that none of the characters come across as annoying. “The enemy of my enemy is my fried” is the main theme in House of Ashes. Compared to the other games in the series, the most unique part about this game is that you have enemies that have to come together to focus on fighting an even greater enemy. House of Ashes has a very cool story with some great characters. Just like Until Dawn, House of Ashes goes the “creature feature” route instead of paranormal. While looking for a way out, they discover that they are not alone and that they have disturbed the lair of something evil that lurks in the dark. An earthquake happens that causes the ground to split open and both sides get trapped in a Sumerian temple underneath the Arabian desert. Before long, Iraqi soldiers arrive and a firefight breaks out between both sides.
The team goes to a town in search of a hidden underground area. We join up with a military unit that is searching for chemical weapons in Iraq. This game has some great characters and an overall good story to go with them. I still haven’t played Little Hope, but House of Ashes is far better than Man of Medan for me. If you’re a fan of the rest of the Dark Pictures series of horror games, you should know what to expect with House of Ashes. Just like Until Dawn, Man of Medan and Little Hope, the game is an interactive cutscene-driven survival horror developed by Supermassive Games. House of Ashes is the third game of the Dark Pictures Anthology. Player(s): 1 (single player), 2 (online co-op), 2–5 (local)
