Description

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of standalone, cinematic branching horror games where the decisions you make in the game determine the story and the outcome you receive.

House of Ashes is the third game in the series.

In House of Ashes, at the close of the Iraq War, Special Forces hunting for weapons of mass destruction unearth something far deadlier – a buried Sumerian temple containing a nest of unearthly creatures. To survive the night below, they must forge a brotherhood with their enemies from the world above.

- Navigate the underworld and escape a terrifying threat
Fight your way out of a buried sumerian temple against hordes of deadly monsters that have claimed you as prey.

- The enemy of your enemy is your friend
This time, your crew is composed of 2 opposing factions that rarely see eye to eye. Can you put aside your character's rivalries to fight together as one ?

- Don't play alone
The two critically acclaimed multiplayer modes are back. Share your story online with a friend or aim for safety in numbers through the offline 5-player pass-the-pad mode.

The Curator's Cut
The Curator's cut features new scenes playable from the other characters' perspective with brand new choices and decisions to make.

The Curator's cut is only available once you have completed the main story.

Easily the best game this studio has made since Until Dawn. While not a very scary game, the plot is genuinely interesting, some great choices you have to make, and actually good themes that are well developed and

Welcome to subterranean hell, or part of what inspired the Sumerian conception of it. You control a rag-tag group of twenty somethings who seem a bit too young and inexperienced to be in this situation, but hey, it's

Upon replaying, I understand why this is considered the best in the series. Most of the characters are solid, including the supporting cast, the villains are cool, choices actually matter and have game changing impacts.
